The Jets have signed tight end Temuchin Hodges, formerly known as "Bucky."

Hodges returns to the Jets for his second stint in green and white after spending three months last summer with the team. The first-year player spent last season on the Steelers' practice squad and signed a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh in January. He was waived in April.

Originally the Vikings' sixth-round draft pick in 2017, the 6'6", 257-pound Hodges recorded 133 receptions for 1,747 yards and 20 touchdowns in four years at Virginia Tech.
