"I think adjusting to a new area, that's something I would not have wanted to deal with as much," D'Brickashaw Ferguson said.

"To me it's a great experience and I'm happy that I can have my family and my friends living with me."
The Jets fans were howling again, screaming for another USC running back: LenDale White. Instead the team picked Nick Mangold, a center who could someday play alongside Ferguson. Maybe together they could be a foundation of the franchise Ferguson went home to rebuild.
"I love the Jets," he said. "This is a dream come true."
