JetNation Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 By Glenn Naughton The Jets have announced the signing of former San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Brian Parker, a small school product out of the University of Albany. We have signed TE Brian Parker. DETAILS → https://t.co/R57qXOUqL0 pic.twitter.com/KItSn9HD9M — New York Jets (@nyjets) April 6, 2017 Parker is no stranger to the Jets, but his last stint couldn’t have been much shorter as he was let go after just two days after failing a physical during the 2016 season. Now, back with the Jets on a roster that is still devoid of an established tight end, the Jets give him his best chance to stick on an NFL roster. Parker has just one career reception and has played double-digit snaps only once in his career (17 vs. Det on 11/1/15). Checking in at 6′ 4” 265 lbs, Parker is likely viewed primarily as a blocker with some developmental potential as a pass catcher. Click here to read the full story...

#27TheDominator Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 There are some serious athletes in that group. Brian Parker was literally the best athlete coming out at TE in 2015. SPARQ score of 134.1 which puts him in the 90th percentile of TEs in the NFL. 2015 SPARQ Rankings TE Big, fast, long arms, huge hands, good leaper. Exactly what you want. Great Danes FTMFW!

#27TheDominator Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Bostick went to Newberrry, not Penn State. He is very fast and got some time with Green Bay before he knuckleheaded that onside kick. They have a bunch of small school athletes at TE. Vander Laan was a college QB and is the NCAA leader in rushing yards by a QB (done in D2). .

I know you are joking, but I think this might actually mean they will be considering TEs. I don't think they carried this many TEs last offseason. The fact that they are bringing bodies in may indicate that they are planning to actually utilize them. Of course they may just be throwing stuff at the wall, which is better than re-signing Kellen Davis. Kellen Davis should actually be thrown against the wall.

I was kidding but to be honest, I think if ASJ gets his head on straight, he could be a really good TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
