Overview
- NFL reporter Connor Hughes first revealed that the New York Jets are signing Gee Scott Jr. and listing him as a wide receiver after he worked out for the team.
- Scott is converting from tight end back to wideout after slimming down for the switch, a change the Jets are treating as a tryout rather than a guaranteed roster move.
- His physical profile is unconventional for a receiver, with Pro Day measurements near 6-foot-2, about 238 pounds and a roughly 4.6-second 40-yard dash, and some analytics sites even list him as a fullback.
- Scott played five seasons at Ohio State, totaling 47 catches for 393 yards and four touchdowns and joining the Buckeyes’ 2024 national championship team, and he ran an undrafted-to-practice-squad path in 2025.
- The signing follows the recent waiver of Da’Quan Felton and comes as the Jets sort a 91-player offseason roster, meaning Scott’s addition is a low-cost depth move that could affect competition in training camp but does not guarantee a spot on the final roster.
