As the New York Jets prepare to kick off their 2016 exhibition season against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Thursday night, few players on the roster have more to prove than third-year tight end/H-back Jace Amaro.
Amaro was chosen with the 17th pick in the second round (48th overall) of the 2014 NFL draft following a final season at Texas Tech that saw him pull in 106 balls for 1,352 yards and 7 touchdowns. Production on that level would suggest little difficulty holding on to the ball, but that wasn’t the case during his rookie season two years ago when he struggled with catching the ball consistently.
