Jets WR Robby Anderson primed for breakout season

It’s not often that undrafted free agents become No. 1 receivers in the NFL, but that’s exactly what the Jets have in Anderson, who joined the team after the 2016 NFL draft after a pair of productive seasons at Temple.

Despite not being drafted, Anderson took full advantage of the Jets’ skinny depth chart at wide receiver, making an immediate impact in his rookie season. He started eight games, catching 42 passes for 587 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

A full-time starter in 2017, Anderson posted career-highs with 63 receptions for 941 yards and seven touchdowns.
