USAT: Jets Wire

Jan 17, 2022

Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert grew up watching the Jets as a native of Long Island. In just a few short months, there’s a chance that the tight end-needy team selects him in the 2022 NFL draft. And his father is on board with that happening. The Reese’s Senior Bowl Twitter account shared the list of tight ends who will be working with New York’s coaching staff as members of the National team. Ruckert was among them, which prompted a response from Ruckert’s father, Bill. J-E-T-S -JETS JETS JETS, Ruckert tweeted, along with a picture that appears to be Jeremy with a Jets logo painted on his face.

He found a tweet from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler stating that he liked Ruckert’s fit with the Jets. Bill responded with the same picture he posted under the Senior Bowl tweet. Really like the fit of TE Jeremy Ruckert (Long Island native) to the #Jets on day 2. Ruckert is a ball-winner and future starting Y TE. Will be a better pro than college player.
