Former Clemson TE placed on IR


by - Assoc. Editor -

The New York Jets have announced Tuesday that the team has placed rookie tight end Jordan Leggett on the injured reserve because of a knee injury he suffered during the preseason.

Leggett had five catches for 64 yards in three preseason games but has been inactive for most of the regular season appearing in only one game with zero catches.

He was drafted by New York in the fifth round (#150 Overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He is a two-time Mackey Award finalist and finished his career with 112 receptions for 1,598 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2,372 snaps over 51 games (38 starts). Leggett also completed his Clemson’s career the leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns by a tight end.

In 2016, Leggett was second-team All-American by AFCA and CBS Sports and produced 46 receptions for 736 yards and seven touchdowns in 954 snaps in 15 games (15 starts).
