On Sunday afternoon, Leggett recorded his first career touchdown reception to put the Jets within 13 in the fourth quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

For the game, he has three catches for 13 yards including the 2-yard score.

The former Clemson receiver 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).
