“Bam” went undrafted this summer, but was scooped up as an undrafted free agent by New York shortly thereafter. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding Knight in the Jets Fall Camp, and many believe that he has a legitimate shot of making the 53-man roster.

Undrafted Zonovan Knight is really going to make the Jets coaches make a tough decision as the preseason moves along and cuts start happening beginning next week. Definitely could see Knight making the 53-man roster

Zonovan Knight punches it in. The UDFA is fighting for the RB3 role #Jets

Zonovan Knight continues to impress. Looks like a good UDFA. #Jets will have some tough decisions at RB, after Carter and Hall. Knight is shifty and packs a pop.

Zonovan Knight, who just scored a touchdown on the #Jets last drive, has had a very impressive camp. Not sure it's enough to make 53-man roster, considering coaching staff's love of Coleman, but think he sticks around on practice squad and makes 53 next year.
