The Jets didn’t need another tight end, but they spent a third-round pick on one anyway.
New York used the 101st pick of the 2022 NFL draft on Ohio State’s Jeremy Ruckert. He will reunite with WR Garrett Wilson, one of Gang Green’s first-round picks. Ruckert will also compete for targets alongside C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin, whom the Jets signed in free agency this offseason.
