The New York Jets have selected tight end Chris Herndon out of Miami with the 107th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Jets don't have a tight end on the roster who caught more than eight balls for the club, so Herndon has the chance to make an immediate impact on offense.

Chris Herndon Bio

Position: TE
School: Miami
College Experience: Senior
Height: 6-4
Weight: 245 lbs

What the analysts are saying

  • "Herndon's athletic ability will flash on tape, but his college production was pedestrian and he's still very raw. He has TE2 potential if he can improve his upper-body strength and hand placement as a blocker." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "Well equipped with agility and versatility, he'll be a mismatch for opponents at the next level." - Bo Marchionte, NFLDraftScout.com
