TE Jordan Leggett Inks Rookie Contract
The Jets have signed fifth-round tight end Jordan Leggett.
"All I needed was just to get my foot in the door," Leggett, the 151st overall pick of last month's draft, said at the Green & White's recent rookie minicamp. "The Jets gave me the opportunity. I'm forever grateful and I'm extremely blessed."
And he also brings a mix of big-college confidence and hard-working humility to coordinator John Morton's offense.
"The way Coach Morton used the tight end at the Saints, it's definitely a position that's going to be there this year," he said. "I'm excited for my chance, excited to be here, and I'll just go out there and fight to make the team and play on Sunday."
