Tyler Warren could be perfect Jets fit in more ways than one
NY Post
INDIANAPOLIS — Tyler Warren wears No. 44 because of an old Jet.
When Warren was young and just starting to play football, his father showed him film of an old Jets running back who later starred for Washington and made No. 44 look powerful.
“I wear 44 because when I was a younger my dad put on John Riggins film and said, ‘This is how I want you to run the ball,’ ” Warren said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.
Warren did not end up becoming the next great power back, but he is considered the top tight end in this year’s draft and is a potential target for the Jets with the No. 7 overall pick.
Warren could end up wearing Riggins’ old number in New York.
The Jets passed on tight end Brock Bowers last season after plenty of pre-draft speculation that he would be their choice.
