The Facts: Amaro, one of the most prolific pass-catching tight ends in college history, has set high expectations for himself in the NFL. He hopes to be the next Tony Gonzalez. "He's kind of old school, but he did some great things," the Jets' second-round pick said Friday of Gonzalez after his first rookie-camp practice. "I'd definitely like to (model) his game. ... That's someone who I'd ultimately love to be. He's supposedly the greatest tight end to ever play. That's somewhere where I want to be, too."

Diehards Line: Gonzalez wrapped up a Hall of Fame-caliber career last season with 1,325 receptions, the most by a tight end. Amaro acknowledged he has a lot to learn about the pro game, but he spoke confidently about his long-range potential. He'd like to catch 100 passes in a season, something Gonzalez did only once. Amaro did that last season at Texas Tech, racking up 106 receptions for 1,352 yards. The numbers might be inflated because he played in an up-tempo offense that averaged 55 pass attempts per game, but the Jets believe he has the talent to upgrade their 31st-ranked passing attack. ... For now, Amaro will work in tandem with Jeff Cumberland, an experienced and more serviceable blocker than the newcomer will be out of the chute. But Amaro is definitely a player worth watching.
