Kenyon Sadiq eager for Jets matchup with Travis Kelce as rookie navigates his own way: ‘Paved the path’

The Jets drafted tight end Kenyon Sadiq 16th overall this year, and he is looking forward to facing Travis Kelce on Sunday. Sadiq regards Kelce as a model for the position, whose receiving ability has helped shape expectations for tight ends.

Sadiq said he met Kelce during a pre-draft visit with the Chiefs, who picked 13 places after the Jets. He grew up watching Kelce and said their physiques differ, but Kelce’s way of catching the ball offers an example to learn from. The article also notes that the Jets selected Mason Taylor in the second round last year.
