A lot of people were surprised to see former Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett fall to the fifth round in last week’s NFL Draft, and no one was happier to see him there more than the New York Jets.
With Leggett’s size (6-5, 258), hands (10 3/8 inches) and athleticism, many experts think the Jets got one of the steals in the draft, especially the way new offensive coordinator John Morton loves to use the tight end in his schemes.
Leggett describes himself as a do-it-all tight end. At Clemson he played H-Back, he played on the line, he lined up in the slot and he lined up wide.
