The Facts: Anderson spent this offseason trying to add weight to his skinny frame. The 6-3 Anderson said he is up to 180 pounds after playing last year around 170. He said his goal is to be 185 by the time the season starts. He is not concerned about losing any speed because of where he is adding the weight. "I know I'm gaining a lot of weight in my legs," Anderson said. "My legs are way bigger than they were last year. I feel more explosive."
Diehards Line:
His teammates have noticed a difference in Anderson already. “He’s just a stud,” said QB Bryce Petty, who clicked with Anderson last year. “He’s learned. He’s grown. He might be faster. ... Just his burst, it’s exceptional.” Anderson, an undrafted free agent out of Temple, was buried on the depth chart and a long shot to make the roster. But he had an outstanding camp and made so many plays in the preseason games the Jets had to keep him. The move paid off. Anderson became a key piece for the Jets after injuries to Eric Decker and Jalin Marshall early in the season. He emerged as a deep threat and finished his rookie year with 42 catches for 587 yards and two touchdowns. Now with Decker and Brandon Marshall gone, Anderson could do more -- unless. ... Anderson was arrested in May for allegedly pushing a police officer at a concert. The case is pending, and Anderson cannot comment on it. We'll watch for more on that, but it's worth noting.
