Some of the New York Jets‘ youngest players were born in this century. One of them grew up a fan of his current team, which means his childhood idol might be the same as many other Jets fans of that age.
Jeremy Ruckert‘s Jets fandom was immortalized on draft night when his dad, Bill Ruckert, led the family in the “J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!” chant. The 2022 third-round pick had a quiet rookie season. He has received more opportunities this season, playing 267 offensive snaps through 13 games.
Ruckert played a season-high 33 offensive snaps in the Jets’ 30-6 rout of the Texans.
