Leggett picked by Jets in the 5th round of 2017 NFL Draft

Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett was selected No. 150 by the New York Jets in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft on Saturday.

Leggett was the sixth former Tiger taken in the 2017 draft, joining wide receiver Mike Williams and quarterback Deshaun Watson. Williams was taken No. 7 overall by the L.A. Chargers on Thursday, while Watson was selected at No. 12 by the Houston Texans.

Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley was picked 97th in the third round of the draft on Friday by the Miami Dolphins.

From a statistical standpoint, Leggett is perhaps the best tight end in Clemson history.
