Mickey Shuler may have started slow, but he had 5 straight seasons of 400 yards or more receiving, including a 76 catch, 879 yards, and 7 touchdown season in 1985. Remember how good it was to have Dustin Keller? The Purdue TE was one of my favorite Jets back in the day and one of the better receiving tight ends I can personally remember suiting up for the Jets.īack in 2011, he caught 65 passes for 815 yards and 5 touchdowns, the year before it was 55 passes for 687 yards and 5 touchdowns. The options in both free agency and the draft are plentiful, and if I were the Jets I’d probably advise trying to dip into both to find the solution to our woes. This year the Jets failed to put a reliable tight end on the field for Zach Wilson, and while some of that is related to injuries, had Tyler Kroft been healthy for the entirety of the season he still would have been considered one of the weaker starting tight ends in the league.įortunately for the Jets, improving the tight end room shouldn’t be overly difficult this off-season. There is one sentiment that I’ll stick by to the day I die, a good tight end is a good QB’s best friend.
