FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -The New York Jets have added another flashy and versatile option for Mark Sanchez and their suddenly high-powered offense.
The Jets selected Southern California running back Joe McKnight after moving up and acquiring Carolina’s fourth-round pick Saturday.
New York traded its fourth-rounder (No. 124) and sixth-rounder (No. 198) to the Panthers to move up to No. 112.
McKnight is regarded as an excellent multipurpose player who can be a change-of-pace back and punt returner.
New York drafted Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson in the first round, 29th overall, and Massachusetts offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse in the second round.
The Jets also have a seventh-round selection Saturday.
