Standing on Park Avenue outside of the Jets practice facility on Tuesday, where the team was holding “open” kicker tryouts, Josh Henshaw was shooting his one-in-a-million shot.

The 30-year-old financial advisor from Salt Lake City has been chasing his dream of joining the NFL since he graduated from the University of Vermont. And on Monday, when his fraternity brother sent him an article from WFAN detailing the Jets’ tryouts, Henshaw hopped on a plane and flew out to see if he could make something happen.

After some investigating, Henshaw realized that the Jets’ tryout in Florham Park wasn’t exactly “open” but invite only. So, he called up every person he knew around the football world — from old teammates, referees, and guys who have played in the NFL before — to put in a good word for him with the Jets.

And in an attempt to speed up the process of getting noticed by the Jets, Henshaw busted out a sign detailing his mission to break into the NFL and has since grabbed a ton of attention on social media.

“Honestly, I’ve called, I’ve emailed, and I’ve sent film to every organization in the NFL,” Henshaw told The Post Tuesday by phone. “And I’ve done that over the past several years, just trying to get someone to take a look at me, someone to give me a shot. I’ve spoken with a few different agents that have just said ‘you didn’t play a big-time school’ and they’ll have one excuse after another as to why they don’t really have an interest in helping me get a shot somewhere.

“After seeing other stories of other guys doing it, I figured at least get my name out there,” he added. “I called the radio station that had the article that my fraternity brother sent me, I called them this morning when I arrived at the facility and I was like ‘here’s what I’m doing, is there anything you guys can do to help me out?’ They supposedly sent in a text message to the head coach, I still haven’t heard anything though from the Jets as of yet.”

Even though the Jets didn’t let him in and he went home empty handed, Henshaw said at the very least he might get some publicity over his bold strategy — which already started to pay off, when an agent who had just received his certification approached and gave him his business card.

Henshaw chose to attend and play for a club team at Vermont, despite the school not having an NCAA football team, because his grandfather was an alumnus. He also spent a year at Lackawanna Junior College in Scranton, Pennsylvania where he played a handful of games in the All Country Conference Junior Football League (ACCJFL), primarily as a punter.

With no luck in grabbing the attention of NFL teams after graduation, Henshaw turned to a semi-professional league that he considers to be more recreational. He suited up for the Davis Vipers in Layton, Utah last season, where he’s played with former Division I and NFL players, but it hasn’t satisfied his dream of making it to the NFL.

But what would it mean to Henshaw to get just one opportunity?

“That’s always something that when I get that question or when some of my friends and family ask me, ‘Why are you still playing, you’re not getting paid,’” Henshaw explained. “One, it’s just love of the game. I really love everything about football and the other part of it is that in the back of my mind, I know I have that ability and would just love to one day call my mom and just say you know, ‘Mama we did it! We made it to the top level!’”

The Jets’ heartbreaking 17-16 loss to the Bills in Week 1 revealed the team’s desperate need for a consistent kicker after Kaare Vedvik missed his lone extra-point and field-goal attempt to cost the Jets four points in the loss. They would end up cutting Vedvik on Tuesday and signing Sam Ficken, who had spent parts of 2017 and 2018 with the Rams.

Head coach Adam Gase said the organization would address the kicker situation going forward. Vedvik is the Jets’ third kicker of the Gase era after Chandler Catanzaro retired and Taylor Bertolet was released.

Henshaw believes he could be the answer to the Jets’ predicament, as his one message to the front office is to “take a chance.”

“How good of a story would it be that they just picked someone off the street and gave them an opportunity and next thing you know they’re in a position to win a football game,” Henshaw said. “And they win. It’s a team effort, there’s three sides to the ball.

“But say with five seconds left on the clock in a 50-plus yard field goal — we just saw it last night with Wil Lutz with the Saints — the offense got them in position and it takes all sides of the ball, but when it comes down to that specific scenario, I want to be that guy.”
