I see him more as a Tony Gonzalez-Travis Kelce-Muhammad Ali-Michael Jordan-Carl Lewis hybrid, but with more speed and better blocking. Those guys all suck. Ruckert will be the next Bob Tucker. My favorite TE of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Ruckert was drafted high enough to expect that he had some good potential. Plus he came from a good college program. Good to see the jets finally having a good set of tes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the reason I like the Kittle comparison is because both Kittle and Ruckert are elite blockers which creates huge mismatches for the offense as opposed to a TE like Pitts who is just a beast of a receiver. Ruckert also possessed the sneaky athleticism like Kittle which allowed him to fall to the middle rounds. Cant wait to see this kid play this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022, Ruckert was a 3rd round pick, coming off an injury and does anybody stake a better claim to playing with a sh*tty QB? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Ruckert can get on the field and contribute as a regular this year. While the 40 catch point does make sense, Ruckert was behind 2 veteran TEs and we didnt need to rush him. The reason I like the comparison is due to the similarity of their draft profiles. I was a huge fan of Kittle coming out, not because in any way did I think he would be this good, but because we needed a TE and his profile was "floor is a 10 year blocking TE who has an understated athletic profile giving him a ton of upside. Limited production due to the offense he was in (ie bad QB play) not due to his ability". What else could a team possibly look for in the 4th round? Yet we screwed around and Mac missed him and instead we wound up with Jordan Legget - absolute disastrous turn of events (we actually traded back in the 4th round to take Chad Hansen). Ruckerts profile is very very similar. "Elite blocker with excellent athleticism (9 RAS) that doesnt match his production because he was in an offense with 4 first round WRs." Personally I love that we gave him a redshirt to improve some of his blocking technique and to get healthy. I understand that the price we paid for Rogers was for a QB to produce 4200 and 38tds but to me, I want to see our offense operate with 2 TEs to really dominate the running game and then let the combination of Rogers excellent play action ability and GW's ability to stretch the filed allow us to complete a ton of short passes that lead to yards after the catch and keep Rogers from taking too many hits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to think of that Weak WR class + they didn't end up taking Mayer in the end, instead grabbing a TE in Rd 7. I dunno if any of that says much about how they feel about Ruckert either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashlite80 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 He's the kind of TE you love having in there on a running play. Helluva blocker. If he becomes a threat in the passing game, he would be special. Reality tells me that we have a ton invested in 2 other TE's. Conklin caught 67% of the passes targeted. Uzomah has a 78% rate over the last 2 years. Those numbers are elite. Only injury held him back. I could see Ruckert playing a bigger role as the season progresses, especially in the running game. With AVT and Becton on the right and Tippman pulling, adding Ruckert outside Becton should really juice the running game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Ruckert grow into the role this year and he can be our TE of the future. I have high hopes for this kid. He has the tools to be special, question is can he put it together. This year will tell us a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
