It’s difficult to conceive that the New York Jets 2018 tight end unit consisted of Chris Herndon, Eric Tomlinson, Neal Sterling, and Jordan Leggett. No wonder that was another four-win season, that ultimately got the head coach fired.
Ex-general manager Mike Maccagnan knew as much, drafting Trevon Wesco and signing Daniel Brown, a former D-II star receiver at James Madison. The 2015 UDFAs developed his TE game while gunning special teams reps with the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears.
In the preseason, Jets fans heard all about the lethal passing combination of Sam Darnold to breakout tight end Herndon.
