Kenyon Sadiq Gets Called out Before Jets Chiefs Game

Sports Illustrated's Justin Melo named New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq one of the NFL's most disappointing rookies ahead of Week 9. After a breakout performance in Week 3 with seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown, Sadiq managed just five receptions for 43 yards over the next five games and fell behind Mason Taylor on the depth chart.

Heavy writer Paul Esden Jr. argues the criticism requires context, pointing out that Sadiq missed crucial offseason preparation following core muscle surgery. Esden Jr. also highlights offensive coordinator Frank Reich's play-calling as a factor, while noting Sadiq was drafted with a pick acquired from the Indianapolis Colts in the Sauce Gardner trade.
