NYJetsDaddy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I love Chris Herndon. He has the ability to become and remain a top 10 TE in the league for a very long time. My hope is only that he works hard and that he and Darnold form a rapport much like the top QB/TE connections. If they form a chemistry, they could be very tough to handle on 3rd and manageable passing situations especially with Bell being the threat that he is out of the backfield. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears he is a good young man who made a mistake. I can live with that. As long as he learns from it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herndon showed he has the ability to not only make the spectacular catches, but also the tough catches. Herndon simply needs to learn how to run more efficient and precise routes. Jason Witten was not an elite athlete, but he was an Elite TE in the NFL because he knew how to get open. I want to see Herndon step his game up in regard to route running and blocking. If he can, he will be elite. All that being said, I am with you. I don't think he will be an elite TE, but he has a chance to be a top 10-15 for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 FWIW, I remember vividly when we made the pick, Mayock said it was one of the best picks in the draft so far, and Herndon was a steal. Said that he would have been borderline 1st rounder had he not got hurt late that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I definitely like Herndon, but as others mentioned, I don't think he's yet a guarantee for hitting that truly elite level. While there was no reason to be even slightly unhappy about his rookie year, the honest truth is that he's also gotten a little over-hyped around here, although with good reason, thanks in large part due to a combination of the Jets' pretty awful history with both TEs and Maccagnan's mid-round draft picks. He's no doubt got talent, but there's still plenty of hard work and progress needed from him in order for him to turn out what we all are hoping he will be. If he were theoretically to plateau at this level for the rest of his career (not that I think that'll happen), no one will be overly excited if he's putting up a similar stat line in a couple of years, as he would simply be considered a "solid" starter. Nothing wrong with giving him the benefit of the doubt, but he's still got a ways to go in order to live up to the hype. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not but he pled guilty to DWI in Jan According to the NFL’s substance abuse policy, a first-time offense for a law violation involving alcohol results in a two-game suspension. https://jetswire.usatoday.com/2019/01/10/jets-chris-herndon-dui-nfl-suspension/ because Herndon was arrested at 0.14 (2x legal limit) and crashed going 100 mph he could face even more games if the league feels the incident was especially egregious.

He's not a lumbering TE type and I think heading into his second season he could become....dare I say....a "weapon" for the offense. We just need to see the normal expected progression of a player from his rookie season to his second year. If he improves his game 5-10% across the board just from experience and continues to get more comfortable and into a rhythm with his QB as their reps continue then he could easily be the best TE in the AFCE this season. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookies. The important traits I saw were good route running, excellent hands and RAC ability. He seemed to improve throughout the season and definitely had a better second half than first half of the year. I think the things you mentioned are good examples of correctable mistakes that he showed were being corrected as the season went on. Lots of upside with this guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Some of you dudes are way too critical--he was great at Miami--extremely athletic, good hands, great after the catch and he showed it last year with a rookie QB and not a lot of other offensive talent around him. I know we're all just guessing but I think the guy is going to be an absolute monster for us for years. The combo of a second year Sam and an innovator like Gase is going to make him shine. Kind of bummed about him likely missing the first two games but he's one of the players I'm most excited about. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things break the right way for the Jets and this new coaching staff, if Darnold emerges in his second year, if Bell is what we think he can be, if Gregg Williams dials it up on D with some new toys like Mosely and a top draft pick.....I wouldn't be shocked by a season with 10+ wins.

Barry McCockinner Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The Jets seem to be compiling players that can put pressure on the middle of the defense. Herndon, Crowder, Bell, Enuwa - all players who will attack the middle of the field and put pressure on linebackers and nickel/dime backs on passing downs. It will be interesting to see how Gase approaches this apparent offensive strength. If he's successful at exploiting the middle of the field it may lead to more one on one opportunities for Anderson on the outside as defenses start to adjust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
