Tyler Conklin caught five passes for 93 yards and was an integral part of the Jets’ 24-3 win over the Patriots.
It felt like a matter of time.
Tyler Conklin is a pass-catching tight end who’s been one of the Jets most dependable and productive pass catchers for the past two seasons.
A healthy Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball this year figured to make those numbers bigger.
And yet Conklin entered Thursday night’s Jets home opener against the Patriots at MetLife Stadium with two receptions for 16 yards in the first two games.
Game 3 of the Jets season proved that two games was too small a sample size to determine where Conklin’s season is headed.
He caught five passes for 93 yards and was an integral part of the Jets’ 24-3 win over the Patriots.
Conklin’s lack of involvement in the passing game had been curious after he’d been such a consistent pass catcher the previous two seasons, catching 61 passes for 621 yards last season and 58 for 552 yards and four TDs in 2022.
