The Jets have signed fifth-round tight end Jordan Leggett.

"All I needed was just to get my foot in the door," Leggett, the 151st overall pick of last month's draft, said at the Green & White's recent rookie minicamp. "The Jets gave me the opportunity. I'm forever grateful and I'm extremely blessed."

And he also brings a mix of big-college confidence and hard-working humility to coordinator John Morton's offense.

"The way Coach Morton used the tight end at the Saints, it's definitely a position that's going to be there this year," he said.
