The New York Jets recently traded and hit the jackpot by bringing in Aaron Rodgers. The team had been looking for a missing veteran piece to shore up their offense and they’ve definitely got it. However, the 2023 Draft proved that they weren’t done yet. They went on to draft some extra help for the quarterback’s offense. And they’ve gone the monstrous route.

In the 7th round, the Jets got a little lucky and drafted an interesting addition to their offense. Interestingly, the Jets drafted a tight end who is a whopping 6 feet and 8 inches tall.
