The Facts: Amaro, 24, has stood out during the early days of Jets training camp. He is making a lot of catches, including a few diving ones, and has been a noticeable target in red-zone drills. The Jets are searching for another target in their offense besides Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. Amaro could be that missing piece.

Diehards Line: The tight end position was just a rumor for the Jets in 2015. Tight ends caught eight passes on 23 targets. Would it have been different had Amaro remained healthy? There is no doubt he is a better receiver than Kellen Davis, who became the team’s primary tight end, but Amaro was already buried on the depth chart last training camp before his injury. Quincy Enunwa emerged as a hybrid receiver/tight end, and that may be whom Amaro is fighting for reps this year. Amaro spent this offseason at his home in San Antonio working on his run blocking, catching a ton of footballs and concentrating on nutrition. He said he is down about 10 pounds, from 270 last year in camp to 260 this year. “I feel like I’m running a lot better. I have more endurance,” Amaro said. “I didn’t lose any strength [with the weight loss]. Things like that I feel like will help me down the road in the regular season.” It's no secret Amaro is entering a make-or-break season. It appears he knows it.
