Catastrophe. Disaster. Incompetent. Liability. Pick your negative adjective to describe Jets tight end Chris Herndon’s play through the teams first 8 games of the 2020 season and any (or all) of them will fit just fine. Every pass that came Herndon’s way felt like it was either dropped or caught and fumbled. Herndon couldn’t get out of his own way.
Then after suffering yet another drop on his first target of the team’s 10th game of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers, something changed. All of a sudden, Herndon caught the next catchable pass that came his way.
