Former South Carolina WR Bruce Ellington didn’t have to wait long to find a new team after being cut by the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday.
After missing the entire 2016 season with a hamstring tear, the ex-Gamecock will be heading from San Francisco back to the East Coast for the 2017 campaign.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New York Jets have taken a flyer on Ellington:
