The New York Jets have an enormous need at the tight end position entering the 2022 offseason. Their only tight ends under contract are Ryan Griffin, Trevon Wesco, and Kenny Yeboah, who combined for twice as many drops (4) as touchdown catches (2) in 2021.
In addition to the lack of talent in-house, New York’s need at the tight end position is especially great when you consider the vision of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
The rookie play-caller planned to build the Jets’ offense around a heavy reliance on 12 personnel packages (which feature two tight ends on the field).
