Second-year RB Trenton Cannon gave Jets fans a glimpse of what's under the hood in the team's 28-13 loss to the Saints Saturday night.

Like a high-performance car sitting in a garage, Cannon chomps at the bit to hit the open road and punch the gas. But in the third preseason game, the pro sophomore showed a newfound patience and improved vision as he totaled 51 rushing yards on six carries in addition to three receptions for 28 yards.

"My first year, that was the hardest for me," Cannon said. "My speed is what helps me, so that's one thing I learned to do — be patient and when and when not to use my speed."

On the first play of the third quarter, Cannon exploded for a 25-yard run after a Luke Falk handoff. As the hole up the middle closed in a hurry, the 5'11", 185-pounder bounced the run off the right side of the line and shot upfield where he was eventually tripped up by Saints S Chris Banjo.

"Going through my reads, I saw the outside and I knew I could beat the D-end," said Cannon, one of the club's three sixth-round picks in 2018. "It was open, so I took it and ran."
