The New York Jets have themselves one of the brightest young tight ends in the league in Chris Herndon and after a recent development in the NFL world, it’s finally safe to say that he is the best at his position in the AFC East.
Longtime New England Patriots great — and Jets matchup nightmare — Rob Gronkowski has officially announced his retirement after an incredible nine-year career. His time in the NFL was highlighted by five Pro Bowl appearances, four First-Team All-Pro recognitions, and, of course, three Super Bowl victories.
