‘They Said I Wasn’t Ready’: Juice Wells Jr. Vows to Prove Them Wrong and Reach the Top
Juice Wells Jr. has always been determined, but the recent words from the New York Giants' wide receiver show just how fiercely committed he is to proving his doubters wrong. Despite being told time and time again that he wasn’t ready for the NFL, Wells is more motivated than ever. The 6-foot slot receiver from Ole Miss has faced every challenge head-on, using each obstacle as fuel to keep pushing forward. Now, as he prepares to carve his path in the league, Wells is making it clear that he’s ready to shine at the top.
“They said I wasn’t ready, that I wouldn’t make it,” Wells said in a candid interview. “But I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Every challenge I face, I use it to grow stronger. I’m just getting started, and the world will see that I belong at the top.”
For Wells, these words aren’t just motivation—they’re a reflection of his journey. From his standout seasons at Ole Miss, where he formed a strong connection with quarterback Jaxson Dart, to his time at James Madison where he racked up impressive stats, Wells has shown that he’s capable of thriving in high-pressure situations. But it hasn’t been easy.
Wells was one of the many undrafted players who had to prove themselves in the highly competitive environment of the NFL. Despite not being a household name, he made his presence known in the 2025 preseason with the Giants, catching 4 of 8 targets for 24 yards and two first downs. While he didn’t make an immediate splash, his dedication and determination to continue improving have kept him in the mix.
With the Giants struggling with injuries to key receivers like Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, Wells' skills as a dependable receiver and his history with Dart have made him an asset in the team's efforts to rebuild. Fans have already begun calling for him to get more opportunities on the field, and his growing chemistry with Dart could play a major role in his rise.
Wells’ confidence is undeniable, and his words are a testament to his belief in himself and his future in the NFL. “I’m not just here to take up space. I’m here to make an impact. Every play, every game, I’m going to prove what I’m capable of,” he declared.
As the Giants prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos, Juice Wells Jr. is more determined than ever to show that he’s ready to take the next step in his career. Whether it’s making big catches or contributing to special teams, Wells is ready to prove that he belongs among the top wide receivers in the league.
The road ahead for Wells is long, but his mindset and preparation suggest that he is just getting started. With the backing of his teammates and a growing fan base, there’s little doubt that Juice Wells Jr. will continue to defy expectations and prove his worth at the highest level.
You didn’t have to be an NFL HC to see the biggest problem with the Broncos’ offense - Denver needs to make drastic changes on the offensive line
You didn’t have to be an NFL head coach to see what the biggest problem for the Denver Broncos offense was in a 13-11 win over the New York Jets in Week 6 in London.
Against the Jets, the Broncos looked like their offensive line was totally out of sync, thanks in large part to the play of Matt Peart, who was making his first start of the season in place of the injured Ben Powers.
Peart was about as bad as an NFL offensive lineman could be against the Jets, where he was called for 3 penalties. Peart is currently ranked 108th out of 109 eligible NFL offensive guards with a 29.9 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.
Peart, 6-foot-7 and 318 pounds, was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury after he returned from London and underwent an MRI.
“For second straight week, Broncos are placing their starting left guard on IR after he just played every offensive snap in game,” Denver 9 News reporter Mike Klis wrote on his official X account on October 14. “This time Matt Peart going on IR with knee injury per source. He played all 60 snaps vs Jets. Tests run after he returned to Denver from London. Peart had replaced Ben Powers, who played every snap vs Eagles, but now on IR with biceps injury.”
While it’s not totally clear what the Broncos might do with their lineup after they’ve lost both Powers and his replacement, there’s one unique idea that might actually work really well.
