Before the season began, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was suspended for the first few games by the NFL which prompted the New York Jets to have someone experienced to start in his place. They turned to tight end Will Tye to hold the fort until Seferian-Jenkins was eligible to return and well, he didn’t do much of anything.
In the few games Tye played, he only totaled 38 receiving yards, four receptions, and didn’t score a single touchdown. He didn’t last long with the Jets but once Seferian-Jenkins came back, he truly started off red-hot for the Jets.
