It turns out Dylan Parham isn’t the dynamic receiver that the Jets have been wanting for to complement Garrett Wilson. 

But that’s OK. 

Parham was signed to be the left guard on an offensive line returning its other 4 starters, and his one catch for a 2-yard loss off a batted ball Friday against the Steelers isn’t going to be simple to replicate. 

Not that offensive coordinator Frank Reich would need to draw it up again. Leave the catches to Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr. and more. 

“I’m definitely going to see if there’s something that Frank can put in there [playbook] for me,” Parham joked before Monday’s follow. “I’m going to be on the JUGS [machine] today, get a couple catches. We talk about trying to feed everybody the ball, get everybody [an] opportunity. I didn’t know that was going to be me. That was a fun moment. Sad I didn’t do what I needed to with that opportunity. We don’t get many of them.” 

The Jets were the only NFL workforce to begin the same 5 on the offensive line (all performed at least 1,016 snaps) in all 17 video games last season. 

Parham said he has match in seamlessly, changing John Simpson alongside tackles Armand Membou and Olu Fashanu, heart Josh Myers and guard Joe Tippmann even with out sharing the group’s golf passion.

“I’m trying to figure out who my teammates are and mesh in,” Parham advised The Post. “I want to bring what I offer to the table — the experience, athleticism, physicality and my energy and positive attitude — without disrupting as much as possible simply because they have been together. Hopefully, I can play at the level I want to and bring my extra to what they have built.” 

The Jets averaged only 2.6 yards per carry against the Steelers. That’s an space that wants to enhance before Week 1. 

“I feel like this offensive line can be as good as we want it to be,” Parham said. 

Tippmann was the first particular person in the Jets group to attain out to Parham when he signed as a free agent. 

“They’ve all done a good job of bringing me into the group and all the jokes,” Parham said. “We do a lot of group dinners. We’re offensive linemen. We like to eat.” 

Head coach Aaron Glenn “is still thinking about” whether to play the starters against the Giants on Friday.

“The only thing I want the guys focusing on right now is getting to that next practice,” Glenn said. “It’s going to be a hard practice [Tuesday].” 

Third-string RB Isaiah Davis, who has missed practically three weeks with a knee harm, is on monitor to play Week 1, Glenn said.
