Jets rookie tight end Jace Amaro is learning on the fly during OTA workouts, reports ESPN.
On Wednesday, Amaro had a forgettable practice with three drops and "looked lost at times in the offense." Coach Rex Ryan was watching.
"All you've got to do is look at Jace," Ryan said. "Jace had like three drops today. And I'm like wait a second, he did catch 106 balls right? But, he had three drops and that's where clearly a guy is thinking so much that all of a sudden you lose the focus on what Job 1 is: catch the football."
Amaro was clearly disappointed after practice.
"It’s been fun out there, but I have to make sure I get better," Amaro said. "Today, just have to make sure you're getting better at routes. I'm just overthinking a little too much on the plays and stuff like that."
