Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenyon Sadiq
From the article
In just 28 snaps, the 21-year-old raised the bar back to where it began. Sadiq demanded immediate attention despite debuting to limited reps, scoring the team's season-opening touchdown in a 23-10 win at Tennessee. With his 3-yard end around touchdown run, Sadiq — who finished with three receptions for 21 yards, while tying for the second-most targets on the team — became the first tight end to score his first touchdown on a rushing play since Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome in 1978.
STACKED’s take
Sadiq scored in debut despite limited reps; first TE since 1978 to score on rushing TD
The 21-year-old Jets tight end made an immediate impact in his Week 1 debut despite limited reps (28 snaps), scoring the team's season-opening touchdown on a 3-yard rushing end-around play against Tennessee. Sadiq finished with three receptions for 21 yards while tying for the second-most targets on the team, becoming the first tight end to score his first touchdown on a rushing play since Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome in 1978. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich noted that after seeing Sadiq practice for just one week following hernia surgery and missed training camp, he realized the rookie was ready to play without limitations: "I thought, 'Oh no, he's ready to go.'" Reich emphasized Sadiq's versatility, lining up in the slot, out wide, and in the backfield.
