FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Robby Anderson remembers leaning over his birthday cake, closing his eyes and making a wish.More than anything, the wide receiver just wanted to play football again. So, he blew out the candles on May 9, 2015, celebrated his 22nd birthday and hoped for good news.I knew football would never be over, said Anderson, who made a strong claim for a roster spot on the Jets with six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown in New Yorks 22-18 loss to Washington last Friday night.I never gave up on it.It wasnt easy, though.After a standout season as a redshirt sophomore at Temple University with 44 catches for 791 yards and nine touchdowns, Anderson was ruled academically ineligible. He was forced to sit out a year and needed to get his grades up, but until then, football was out.It was just a lack of me applying myself, he said. I was young. I was immature. I wasnt really too into school at the time and I really made some mistakes. I paid for those mistakes.Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Anderson has had NFL dreams for as far back as he can remember, and they seemed to be a possibility as he starred as a receiver and defensive back for Plantation High School in Florida.After redshirting as a freshman at Temple, Anderson played in six games in 2012, mostly on special teams. He was working with the second-team defense as a cornerback in 2013, but quit in the spring. Anderson reconsidered his decision and asked Temple coach Matt Rhule if he could come back.Rhule allowed Anderson to return -- as a non-scholarship athlete and as a wide receiver. Anderson thrived, working his way to the starting offense by the fifth game. He went on to have a big year, but then got hit with the ruling that he was academically ineligible for the 2014 season and his football career was suddenly uncertain.Those thoughts went through my mind, but I have always believed in God and I knew that he delivers, no matter what, Anderson said. Sometimes it doesnt happen exactly when you want, but every lesson is a blessing. I knew that I had to be patient and I had to overcome it and go through some things and earn it back.Anderson took summer classes and earned his associate degree, applying himself in the classroom while waiting to hear about his athletic future. He did so well, hes just six classes away from getting his degree in criminal justice.Im almost there, he said with a big smile.Two days after Anderson made that birthday wish, Rhule called him to let him know that he would be eligible to play again for the football team.It was a relief, Anderson said, shaking his head. It was a blessing that I was able to go back and put myself in this position.He was a force for the Owls, finishing with 70 catches for 939 yards -- both ranking second on the schools single-season list -- and seven touchdown catches.Anderson, selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game, went undrafted in April, but the Jets signed him as a free agent shortly after the draft was completed. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver has been solid throughout the offseason and training camp, impressing with his speed and ability to get up in the air to snatch passes.Hes just got soft hands, he brings everything in, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. Hes got a good, little swagger to him that I hadnt really seen that you see in games come out a little bit. And hes raw. He just hasnt played a lot of receiver.Anderson is making up for lost time, though. He looked every bit a seasoned wide receiver when he outleaped a defender along the sideline, then scooted out of a would-be tackle for a 42-yard touchdown against the Redskins.He showed up and made some catches, said coach Todd Bowles, who also played at Temple. But again, its everything that he has to do, whether he runs the right route, depth and everything else is what we have to look at.Trying to make the roster will be a tough task with three spots at the positon set with Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Quincy Enunwa. Veterans Kenbrell Thompkins, Jeremy Ross and Kyle Williams are competing with Anderson and fellow impressive rookies Jalin Marshall, Charone Peake and Chandler Worthy for three, maybe four spots.After all the twists and turns to get to this point, though, Anderson is intent on sticking around.I just hope that throughout my NFL career, and hopefully I have a long NFL career, that people can look at my journey and just be inspired by it, he said.Sometimes you go through things, you make mistakes and things dont work out the way you want them to. If you have a dream, though, you just cant ever give up on it because you really can control your destiny if you work hard and do what it takes. You cant ever give up.You can really lose it all, but you can get it back.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Winnipeg Jets Jerseys .

Alastair Cook was left ruing missed chances in the field as England succumbed to an innings defeat in Mumbai.While Cook admitted England had erred in selection - picking four seamers on a pitch where Indias spinners claimed 19 wickets - he felt the defining moments of the game came when England failed to take chances to dismiss all three of Indias centurions in the relatively early stages of their innings.Jonny Bairstow missed a stumping opportunity off M Vijay when he had 45, Virat Kohli was put down by Adil Rashid - a difficult caught and bowled chance - on 68, and Joe Root put down Jayant Yadav at slip when he had eight. Vijay went on to score 136, Kohli made 235 and Yadav 104.The frustration for Cook is that these things keep happening. The series against Pakistan was littered with missed opportunities - and Rashid also put down a tough chance off Kohli in Visakhapatnam when he had scored 56. He went on to make 167.I keep going back to the chances we missed, Cook told Star Sports. Thats why we lost this game.Yes, we would have liked another spinner. But with the side we had, we had opportunities to bowl India out for 400 and we just didnt take them.Obviously Virat played an extraordinary innings, but we had a chance to get rid of him on 60-odd. Yadav got a 100 and we had a couple of chances to get rid of him. And those are the things the game is changing on. This team, at the moment, were not taking those chances. Its those opportunities that have cost us.Cook also admitted England didnt need that extra seamer in Mumbai. Going into thhe match with six bowlers - two spinners and four quicks - Cook was obliged to ask Rashid and Moeen Ali to deliver more than 50 overs, while none of the seamers bowled more than 20.ddddddddddddThat was a mistake, he said. Its kind of the problem when you dont have any games between Test Matches. We really wanted to see what four seamers looked like, because they are the bowlers so far on this tour who have given us the most control and our two best spinners have been Mo and Rash.Maybe if wed bowled first wed have more control with the four seamers. But clearly when you bat first, you didnt need that extra seamer.Whether it would have changed the game... we were in this game with the balance of that side. We had an opportunity when they were 307 for 6 to restrict Indias lead. Historically, 180 is a good score here in the third innings and its very hard to score much in the fourth innings. So we would have been in the game.But would have, could have isnt really good enough and thats the bottom line: we havent been good enough to get over the line.Cook had praise for Kohli, though: Hes in incredible form. Hes having one of those series you dream of as a player and a captain. You lead from the front and you score a hell of a lot of runs and thats a huge amount of credit to him. Hes clearly one of the great batsmen of our generation. And certainly in these conditions, hes very hard to bowl at when hes in this form.
