Garrett Wilson is not the only Jet who has been reunited with Justin Fields this spring.

Tight end Jeremy Ruckert also played with Fields at Ohio State and has been excited to see his former college teammate in Florham Park.

“It’s been amazing,” Ruckert shared. “Whenever you have the chance to reconnect with a former teammate, whether from an earlier league or college days, it’s fantastic. I’m thrilled with the direction we’re headed as a team and the culture we’re building. I believe he’s the perfect fit for the role. Over these last few weeks, syncing up and perfecting our timing with everyone has been something special. It’s not only about being a part of this but also helping others get into rhythm and grow together as a unit.”

Ruckert said beyond Fields’ obvious physical gifts, he has the mental makeup to help the Jets.

“I believe his greatest strength is his mental resilience; nothing shakes him,” Ruckert stated. “He’s a great match for this team and region. He thrives under pressure and is designed for it. His attitude and level of professionalism have been evident since our college days, and he’ll keep displaying that. We’ll support him all the way.”

This is a big season for Ruckert, who is entering his fourth year in the league.

New Jets coach Aaron Glenn challenged him to be more consistent when they sat down this winter to meet.

The Jets lost Tyler Conklin in free agency, leaving a hole at tight end.

But the team selected Mason Taylor in the second round, so Ruckert may still have to fight for playing time.

“I’ve been really concentrating on being the most reliable player I can be,” Ruckert explained, “and fulfilling any role they need, whether in the run game or the pass game. It’s about continuing to get bigger, stronger, and faster. With every year you play, you accumulate more experience and use it to grow and improve. The goal is to take this opportunity, run with it, and be one of the players who can help guide the team forward.”


Glenn said the Jets and Giants would conduct joint practices in August before their preseason game.

There will be one practice at the Jets headquarters in Florham Park and one at the Giants headquarters in East Rutherford.
