At long last, the Jets have tight ends they can rely on

C.J. Uzomah said it best in his introductory press conference: it’s about to be dirty in the Jets tight end room.

In Uzomah and Tyler Conklin – both recently signed – the Jets finally have some good pass-catchers at the position.

How bad has it been for the Gang Green in recent memory? Jets tight ends have caught a league-low 489 receptions since 2012, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. The last Jets tight end to eclipse 500 receiving yards in a single season was Chris Herndon in 2018. The last one to finish with more than 50 receptions in a single season was Austin Seferian-Jenkins in 2017. The last to do both in one season was Dustin Keller in 2011.
