Jets legend responds after being left off Jeremy Ruckert’s list of childhood icons

New York Jets fans know the drill by now: Jeremy Ruckert is one of them.

Ruckert grew up as a die-hard Jets fan in Lindenhurst, New York, which is part of Long Island’s Suffolk County. The Lindenhurst High School star went on to enjoy a successful four-year career at Ohio State and was recently chosen by his childhood team with the 101st overall pick in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft.

At the Jets’ rookie minicamp, Ruckert was asked to name a few of his favorite Jets players to watch while growing up.
