Anytime a player gets drafted by the team they have been rooting for their entire life, it makes for a great story. However, I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m a Jets fan or because Jeremy Ruckert is such a great guy (probably a little bit of both), but his draft story is a little extra special.
Ruckert grew up in Lindenhurst, New York — 50 miles away from MetLife Stadium where he would attend Jets games as a kid. He made the choice to come to Ohio State because he knew what kind of players the program produces.
