The Jets seem to have a home away from home in the Palmetto State.

South Carolina came onto the Green & White radar with their top two picks of the 2000 draft. Shaun Ellis went to Tennessee but he grew up in Anderson, SC, and John Abraham starred at the University of South Carolina.

More recently there've been Antonio Allen (USC) and Charone Peake (Clemson). Last year the Jets drafted T Brandon Shell in the fifth round ... out of South Carolina.

And now we present Javarius Leamon, an undrafted free-agent tackle out of South Carolina State. And with Leamon, the Jets' Palmetto family ties have been drawn even tighter.

Take Leamon's relationship with Ellis, who just happens to be a friend of the family.
