No, this is not an outlandish assessment, nor is it an isolated scenario. The New York Jets, and younger quarterbacks in general, seemingly tend to lean on tight ends more than others.
Well, that game plan and idea looks to continue in 2018 for Gang Green. Why? The team brought in tight ends like Clive Walford and Chris Herndon to join the already packed position. Also, Walford and fellow tight end Neal Sterling combined to catch six passes for 65 yards against the Falcons.
Herndon didn’t play in the first preseason game, but it sounds as though he has performed very well in training camp.
