Jeremy Ruckert is enthusiastic about the Jets' new offensive system under offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who emphasizes the running game and tight end usage. Ruckert aims to showcase his versatility as a blocker and pass-catcher. Entering his fourth year, he feels confident and ready to grow. Although historically used more as a blocker, he has shown promise during practice. Ruckert may not be a high-volume receiver, but he is becoming more involved. Coach Aaron Glenn appreciates Ruckert's ability to be a reliable 'Y' tight end and sees potential for him in the passing game.
"Just to do a little bit of everything, be that consistent guy to do all the jobs that I get asked and just try to be more dominant and more consistent."
"The one thing that I like more than anything is he's a true 'Y' tight end, meaning he's a guy that can get in line and move people off the ball."
"...I'm going into Year 4, so I got a pretty good feel for what it takes in this league . . . So continuing to grow. I feel really good right now where I'm at."
"You saw today in the passing game where he could be a factor."
