Rookie Kenyon Sadiq was selected by the Jets with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. That kind of draft capital spent on a tight end is rare and usually presages great expectations. Unfortunately Sadiq missed virtually the entire offseason and is now playing catch up. We are unlikely to see Sadiq in a major role early on in the season given how behind he is with the offense.

Sadiq (16th pick) missed offseason; unlikely for major early role due to learning curve.

Sadiq was selected by the Jets with the 16th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft—rare draft capital for a tight end that usually presages great expectations. However, Sadiq missed virtually the entire offseason and is now playing catch-up. He is unlikely to see a major role early in the season given how behind he is with the offense. The question is how quickly he can catch up and whether he can deliver the game-changing results the Jets expect, or if his upside will have to wait another year.
