Jets tight end Chris Herndon on suspension: 'It's a mistake I made'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Chris Herndon knows he made a big mistake, and he’s ready to face his punishment.

The Jets' second-year tight end was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Herndon’s ban stems from an arrest after he was involved in a car crash in June 2018. Herndon pleaded guilty to DUI in June.

"I just got to deal with this,” Herndon said Thursday. “It’s a mistake I made. I’ve got to deal with the consequences. I’m going to try my best to stay as prepared and stay as ready as I can be and move on from it.
