SJR 44 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates fourth Sunday of October of each year as "Football Tight Ends Day" in NJ.

SJR 44 is a ceremonial resolution designating the fourth Sunday of October each year as "Football Tight Ends Day" in New Jersey. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals or policies - it solely recognizes the contributions of football tight ends (players who combine blocking and receiving skills) and celebrates their often-overlooked role in the sport. The resolution cites New Jersey's football history, including its connection to NFL tight ends like Greg Olsen and Senator Cory Booker. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public recognition of the position. This is purely symbolic, with no concrete policy changes or impacts.
