Chris Herndon
Herndon might not necessarily classify as an under radar player considering how good he was as a rookie, but after a lost 2019 season in which Ryan Griffin played well and seized the starting tight end job, the Miami product has become somewhat of a forgotten man at One Jets Drive.
Griffin is likely to begin the season as New York’s starting tight end, but Herndon will undoubtedly factor into Adam Gase’s passing attack in some capacity. Frankly, it would not be much of a surprise to see Herndon ascend back to the starting job. As long as he is healthy and can flash the same talent he did in 2018, Herndon should return to being a primary target for Sam Darnold this upcoming season.
He just has to prove it in training camp.
