Jets Fan Bought Mike Williams a Breakfast Sandwich to Help Lure Him to Team

One New York Jets fan went to bizarre lengths in order to help the team secure the signing of free agent wide receiver Mike Williams.

Social media user “@NYJ_Matt” served up a classic taste of New Jersey to the visiting wide receiver, ordering him a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese sandwich directly to the Jets’ facility at One Jets Drive, having the meal delivered via DoorDash.

On Tuesday, Williams agreed to a one-year deal with the Jets worth up to $15 million, prompting the team to acknowledge the sandwich delivery via social media. New York posted a photo of the sandwich bag after it arrived at the facility, confirming the food had reached its destination.

The fan was providing updates for his followers on social media throughout the delivery, informing them of when the sandwich reached the doors, and even helping the delivery driver navigate their way through the facility.

The DoorDash order instructions told the driver to, “please hand it to the person at the door and say this is for Mike Williams and let him know catching passes from Aaron Rodgers is more fun than catching from Bryce Young.”

After the sandwich reached Williams, the wide receiver unpacked it and took a bite before asking where the restaurant was located.

“It’s good. It’s good. This what got the deal signed right here,” Williams joked after agreeing to join the Jets.
