Tyler Conklin’s skill-set is something NY Jets fans haven’t seen in years

General manager Joe Douglas and the New York Jets decided that one new tight end in free agency wasn’t enough.

After signing longtime Cincinnati Bengals starter C.J. Uzomah, the Jets went out and got another starting-quality tight end in Tyler Conklin. The former Minnesota Vikings starter put pen to paper on a three-year, $21 million contract to team up with Uzomah in the Big Apple (or a few miles west of it, anyway).

What are the Jets getting in Conklin?

Well, let’s just say he can do things that Jets fans have not seen their tight ends do in quite some time.
