As New York Jets fans know all too well, sometimes a team’s season seems derailed before it even starts.
While this year’s Jets have not reached that point yet, the news that starting tight end Chris Herndon will be suspended for the first four games of the season is certainly discouraging.
Herndon had a promising rookie season, posting 4 receiving touchdowns and 500+ receiving yards last year.
Unfortunately, Herndon’s success has been largely limited to the football field, as a drunk driving arrest last year has resulted in his current suspension. If he wants to fully realize his potential and have a long career in the league, Herndon will have to show greater maturity in the future.
