According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, former Jets tight end Jordan Leggett visited with the Patriots on Friday.
Leggett was a fifth-round pick by the Jets in 2017 out of the University of Clemson. He had a good chance of becoming the Jets’ starting tight end with Austin Seferian-Jenkins being suspended for the first two games in 2017. However, Leggett suffered a knee injury in practice that forced him to undergo season-ending surgery.
In 2018, Leggett recovered from the injury but didn’t make much of an impact on the field. He started in four out of the 15 games he played in and recorded 14 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. New York cut Leggett in May 2019.
Leggett then moved onto the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they claimed him on waivers. He was on and off the Bucs’ practice squad and never appeared in a regular season game for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers waived him just at the start of this year’s training camp.
