Aumavae prepares for first training camp with New York Jets

Junior Aumavae had been waiting a year for the call.

Following the 2011 NFL lockout, the Kansas City Chiefs contacted the 6-foot-2, 310-pound defensive lineman to come in the next day for a tryout.

However, Aumavae never made it because there wasn’t a combination of connecting flights that would have gotten him there in time from his Palmer, Alaska, home, some 3,700 miles away.
