The tight end position has been a black hole for the Jets for years. They feel like that is about to change.
After the team signed C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin in free agency this week, there is optimism that they now have one of the best tight end tandems in the league.
Conklin is coming off a career year with the Vikings in 2021. He had 61 catches for 593 yards and three touchdowns, all career-highs. If you combine the statistics that Conklin and, they dwarf the Jets’ production at tight end. Conklin and Uzomah combined for 110 receptions for 1,086 yards and eight touchdowns. The Jets had 50 catches for 534 yards and three touchdowns by their tight ends last season.
The 26-year-old Conkiln had only started six games over his first three seasons but injuries led to him getting a bigger role in Minnesota in 2021. He started 15 games and made the most of it. Conkiln said he is used to waiting for his chance after first playing college basketball and then walking on as a football player at Central Michigan and learning to play tight end. Getty Images
