One can only imagine what a frustrating couple of years the past two seasons have been for Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert.
A Long Island native from Lindenhurst who grew up a New York Jets fan. Being selected by his childhood team was a dream come true. But since being drafted, Ruckert has been an afterthought on offense through his first two seasons.
After landing with the Jets in the 2022 draft, Ruckert had what essentially amounted to a redshirt season as a rookie. Despite appearing in nine contests, he managed just 1 reception for 8 yards on two targets for the season.
