Malachi Corley has etched his name into the Hall of Shame along with Leon Lett, DeSean Jackson, Kaelin Clay and others.
The New York Jets receiver moronically cost his team a touchdown in the second quarter of Thursday’s game against the Houston Texans. Corley found daylight on a designed run in the red zone and waltzed into the end zone virtually untouched.
The only problem? Corley dropped the football before crossing the plane!
Here is the unreal video:

The Jets were not awarded the touchdown as a result of Corley dropping the ball, and because the ball ultimately bounced out of bounds in the end zone, it was ruled a touchback and the Texans took over from their own 20.
Dropping the ball early to celebrate (and thereby costing your team a sure touchdown) is about as bad of a blunder as it gets. But unfortunately, this is just par for the course for the Jets, who have been a biblical disaster so far this year.
As a team with Super Bowl hopes before the season, they entered play on Thursday just 2-6, and the comedy of errors only seems to grow with each ensuing week.
