Jets sign Dri Archer to reserve/future contract

The New York Jets signed running back/return specialist Dri Archer to a reserve/future contract Wednesday.

Archer is best known for his performance at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, where he recorded a 4.26 40-yard dash, second only to Chris Johnson's 4.24 mark over the past 10 years.

The 24-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Archer refused a host of practice squad offers and is actively fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Few players can match Archer's game-breaking speed and it'll be compelling to see whether his dynamic acceleration will be enough to resuscitate his career.
