Jeremy Ruckert’s second season as a Jet has gotten off on a better foot.
The tight end has been a noticeable target for Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson in the team’s practices in Florham Park, including a grab on Rodgers’ first pass on Sunday.
“I’m physically more comfortable and mentally more comfortable. Just having so much more fun this year than I was last year,” Ruckert said after Sunday’s practice. “Dealing with the injury, dealing with the whole new experience of being in a pro-style offense. Not really worrying about much, just getting to play again and spending time with the older guys.
The 22-year-old spent two months shuttling between his home on Long Island and a high-level tight end training camp in Nashville, Tenn., founded by Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen. In camp, the Jets have been using some “13” personnel packages, which refers to three tight ends on the field at the same time.Ruckert did not suit up in the Jets’ 21-16 loss to the Browns in the Hall of Fame Game, but coach Robert Saleh said there will be game action for him as the preseason progresses.
