Former Kentucky DB Brandin Echols made a big play in Saturday’s preseason game. Echols plays for the New York Jets and had an interception against the New York Giants.
The Giants wideout was waiting for the pass to reach him and Echols jumped in front of the receiver, taking the pass back for a pick-6. The play was reviewed to check if Echols was touched after making the catch, but the play stood.
