Chris Herndon is not the superstitious type. So Black Julio Jones Jersey , he's totally fine with talking about his three-game touchdown streak.The New York Jets' rookie tight end would rather chat about something else, though."I mean, it's definitely nice to get into the end zone, but it feels a lot better when we're winning," Herndon said Friday. "So, it's been fun these last three weeks, getting a few targets in the end zone and capitalizing on them, but ultimately I want us to win, so I don't try to focus on the stats."Herndon is the second rookie in franchise history to catch a TD pass in three straight games, joining wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson (1996).But, as he said, the end result hasn't always been there. His first NFL touchdown came in the Jets' 42-34 win over Indianapolis on Oct. 14, when he had a 32-yard grab.Herndon had a 12-yard catch against Minnesota the following week to tie the game at 7 late in the first quarter. New York ended up losing 37-17.Last week at Chicago, Herndon had a 16-yard TD reception in the Jets' disappointing 24-10 loss.He'll try to make it four in a row — and, he hopes, with a victory — when New York travels to Miami, where Herndon played his college ball."I just think the offense slowed down for him," coach Todd Bowles said. "I think from a mental standpoint, he's playing faster because he can see everything that's coming and his abilities are starting to take over without even thinking."Herndon was a fourth-round pick in April after a solid college career that was cut short last year by a knee injury. Some draft experts thought he could have been as high as a second-rounder if not for him being hurt."I'm definitely thankful to be here," he said. "I don't take any of this for granted because at this time last year, I was dealing with being injured. So, just being able to play in a professional league, that alone is an honor.He tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee before the Hurricanes were getting set to play in the ACC title game against Clemson. That was the end of his season and his career — but he refused to believe his NFL dreams would be over."I mean, not doubts," he said, "but it wasn't necessarily the best time to, you know, go down."With him slipping into the fourth round, the Jets took a chance on him even though he needed to continue rehabilitating his knee through the early part of the offseason.Herndon's role with the team was uncertain as New York had several tight ends on its roster during the spring. The 22-year-old native of Norcross, Georgia, also found himself in trouble with the law when he was arrested on June 2 for driving while intoxicated after flipping his car in New Jersey.He was remorseful after the arrest, and thankful to the Jets for sticking by him during his legal issues. Herndon leaned on his faith while acknowledging that he had doubts about what was next for him."You kind of do, but that's when I just started praying more and letting God handle all that," he said. "Just controlling all I can at that point. I was strong with it and I'm still learning and growing with it each day."Herndon could potentially be disciplined by the NFL for next season, but he will let that play out. His mind right now is on getting better — on and off the field.And Calvin Ridley Jersey 2019 , things are certainly looking up as far as his play.Herndon has 12 catches — seven in the last three games — for 161 yards and the three TDs, which tie him with Robby Anderson for the team lead. He and Philadelphia's Dallas Goedert have the most by a rookie tight end this season, and one more would break the Jets' single-season mark for rookies at the position — currently shared with Rich Caster (1970), Mickey Shuler (1978) and Dustin Keller (2008).And, Herndon has another eight games to do it."Yeah, I was actually kind of surprised when I heard that news," he said. "I'm honestly just thankful."Herndon and rookie quarterback Sam Darnold were roommates for a stretch during training camp and developed a friendship off the field."Whenever we came home, either one of us had questions, especially me, because I'm the tight end, I just asked him," Herndon said. "That kind of helped."Now, they're creating a bond on the field that's resulting in some big plays."First of all, he's is a great route runner," Darnold said. "But also, he's a great run blocker, which helps in the pass game. It sets up play action and all that stuff. Whenever you have a versatile tight end like him, it always helps an offense." We are on the verge of putting the entire 2018 season behind us. Before we do however, let’s reminisce on what proved to be a considerable strength for the Falcons during this season. It was no secret entering the season that the Falcons possessed one of the best wide receiving groupings across the NFL. There is a solid mixture of well-established veterans, promising talent amongst the youngsters, and enough playmaking ability to concern a defense. The 2018 season proved to be a very productive one for the Falcons wideouts, so let’s analyze and review the pass catchers for the Falcons offense. Julio Jones 2018 production: 113 catches, 1,677 yards, 14.8 ypc, eight TDs Of course we will start at the top with a ball player who could very well be the best receiver in the game today. After an offseason that was filled with a holdout that had the fans uncomfortable and a number of videos of practicing with Terrell Owens, Julio Jones put together one of the best seasons in his career. Jones led the league in yards and even got a monkey off his back by posting eight touchdown receptions. His first score of the season, 35-yard touchdown catch against Washington in Week 8, was commemorated with just about the entire team celebrated with Jones in the end zone, which goes to show how highly respected and beloved Jones is to this Falcons team. This was statistically his second-best season of his eight-year career, and it was clear for the entire season that Jones is a difficult cover regardless of defense. Jones is creeping up to that round number of 30, but if this past season was any indication, there seems to be little sign in sight of this creature slowing down. Calvin Ridley 2018 production: 64 catches, 821 yards, 12.8 ypc Black Calvin Ridley Jersey , 10 TDs Go back to draft night of the 2018 NFL Draft. As the Falcons sat at 26th overall and the clock ticked down second by second, many of us expected Atlanta to go defense to add to their already young stack of emerging stars. To the surprise of literally everyone, the Falcons decided to grab Calvin Ridley to add more juice to the Falcons offense. Year 1 accomplished that. Ridley led the team in touchdown receptions and topped all rookie receivers in catches. His breakout game came in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints, in which he posted seven catches, 146 yards, and three touchdowns, including a beautiful 75-yard touchdown reception for his third career score. In 14 of 16 games played this season, Ridley registered a catch rate of 60% or better. It did not take long for Ridley to establish himself as a playmaker lined up next to Julio Jones, and his performance certainly justified the drafting of his talents. Jason Getz-USA TODAY SportsMohamed Sanu 2018 production: 66 catches, 838 yards, 12.7 ypc, four TDs A steady presence in the Falcons offense for three seasons now, veteran receiver Mohamed Sanu produced the best season of his career. He posted career-highs in catches, yards, and yards per game, and Sanu proved his value significantly on third down. He converted 16 third-down receptions to first downs, and 41 of his 66 total catches on the season resulted in a first down. Sanu has never been a big producer when it comes to 100-yard games or massive touchdown totals, and there are not a lot of foot races that Sanu will win, but thanks to his strong hands and running back-like mentality after the catch, Sanu has proved to be a key asset in the Falcons offense. Reliability comes to mind when describing Sanu and what he brings to the offense. Justin Hardy, Russell Gage, Marvin Hall Rounding out the receiving corps are a trio of young receivers that make their mark mainly on special teams. While Hardy has been in the Falcons system for four seasons, he has yet to make a significant impact, with just 76 catches and nine touchdowns in that time. Hardy is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and it may not be a guarantee that he returns. Only time will tell. In terms of Gage, only six catches were posted on the season for the rookie out of LSU, but Gage found his niche as a core special teamer thanks to his speed as a gunner. Every now and then, we saw the offense incorporate Gage, and thanks to his athletic ability, we could see him on the field more starting in 2019. Hall was instilled as the team’s primary returner with 616 return yards and averaging 23.7 yards per return. Hall’s speed is what earned him a spot on the team prior to the 2017 season. In the past two seasons, Hall recorded 40+ yard touchdown receptions to showcase that speed. The Falcons will have an interesting situation this offseason as Hall is an exclusive rights free agent. The receiving corps was a strength last season, and with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley definitely in the mix moving forward, it should continue to be.
