Tight end is an extremely important part of the system offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur runs. The Jets must make this position a priority this offseason.
No team targeted their tight ends less than the Jets did last season – 77 times total. Ryan Griffin’s targets (42) and receptions (27) ranked 34th and 35th respectively among tight ends. The Jets don’t have the players to run 12 personnel (two tight ends) as much as LaFleur would like.
