Standout Philadelphia Soul wide receiver Larry Brackins has signed with the NFL’s New York Jets.
Brackins appeared in 15 regular season games with the Soul in 2008 and was named offensive player of the game in three of them. He had a total of 107 receptions for 1395 yards and 29 touchdowns during the regular season. In the playoffs, he registered 20 catches for 249 yards and six touchdowns and in Virgin Mobile ArenaBowl XXII caught six passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns.
The former 2005 fifth round Tampa Bay Buccaneers pick out of Pearl River Community College returns to the NFL since joining the Soul for the 2007 season. Though it could mean losing a key component on offense, head coach Bret Munsey thinks it’s a great opportunity for Brackins and a positive for the team.
“A number of guys have received interest from NFL teams, which is a part of having great players and winning a championship,” Munsey said. “I’m happy to get him another shot at the NFL. We feel he’s come a long way in the past two years as a professional and we wish the best for him.”
