Jets signed rookie third-round TE Jeremy Ruckert to a four-year contract.
Ruckert was a one-year starter at Ohio State who didn’t produce much as a receiver. That might not mean much, however, given that he was competing with Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba for targets. Ruckert is a capable blocker who could eventually carve out a meaningful role as a check-down receiver. However, With C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin on the roster in 2022, Ruckert will have a hard time cracking the starting lineup as a rookie.
