Facing a lack of serious competition at the position, Chris Herndon entered the 2020 season with a chance to establish himself as the New York Jets‘ long-term tight end, but he botched that opportunity in grand fashion. Herndon averaged only 17.9 receiving yards per game over 16 appearances while recording five drops and two fumbles.
As things stand right now, Herndon will again enter the season with a chance to prove he can be a long-term answer. The Jets did not use any of their 10 draft picks on a tight end, leaving Herndon as the most talented receiving tight end on the roster without much debate.
