Former Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is returning to the franchise for training camp this year as a Bill Walsh diversity coaching fellow.

"I’m grateful for the opportunity I have to do the Bill Walsh internship with the Jets for fall camp," Cromartie wrote on Twitter/X. "Ready learn as much as I can during this time. Thank you Coach Saleh and your staff for this opportunity!!! Back to 1 Jet Dr."

The Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship allows former NFL players and other coaches the opportunity to observe and gain coaching experience during an offseason, potentially leading to a coaching career in the NFL.

This will be Cromartie's second time being a coaching intern for the Jets. His first time was back in 2018 under then-head coach Todd Bowles.

Cromartie played five seasons with the jets (2010-2013, 2015) and was a two-time Pro Bowl selection while in New York, earning honors in 2012 and 2013. He had 13 interceptions and 63 passes defended during his time with the Jets.
