The Jets announced they have agreed to terms with fourth-round tight end out of Miami Chris Herndon on Monday. That leaves just first-round quarterback Sam Darnold as the lone player from the team’s draft class to be signed. 
Herndon starred out of the slot in 2017 as a junior, catching 35-of-43 targets to lead all college tight ends with an 81.4% catch rate from the slot. He tallied 40 total receptions in his final season and found the end zone four times.
He suffered a knee injury in his final collegiate game and has been limited throughout the offseason. Jets head coach Todd Bowles said the team expects to take it slow with the athletic pass catcher, who did take part in some drills during the team’s rookie minicamp.
The Jets don’t have much at the tight end position, with Eric Tomlinson and Clive Walford as the only players projected above Herndon at the position, according to roster resource.
