One of the people who will be at the other end of the equation is already seeing a stark difference between incumbent starter Mark Sanchez and new acquisition Tim Tebow.
Backup receiver Jeremy Kerley (pictured right) said, according to Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger, that "(Tebow's) ball comes out a little bit stronger, but he's accurate, he's more accurate than what I thought he was going to be. But he's a good dude, he has a great personality, he'll bring a lot of personality to the team."
He elaborated that Tebow's passes have "a lot, a lot more velocity. No dis to Mark, he brings it, man."
Sanchez is fortified in the starting quarterback position, but Kerley is clearly excited to have Tebow on his team.
Kerley said he was "shocked" that his team made the trade for the polarizing former first round pick, but that "It was a good shocked. We got a winner on our team. Obviously, that's what he is. I was shocked but I was happy."
The second-year former TCU Horned Frog also spoke about striving to be the No. 2 receiver on the team behind Santonio Holmes and whether his team will draft a wideout high in the draft.
"You could never fully make your case, a guy like me in my second year, but I mean you gotta think they're always looking for a No. 2 receiver, they're always looking for a No. 1 receiver," he said. "That's how I approach the game. If they get a No. 2 (in the draft) they get a No. 2, it is what it is."
"I feel like I'm in the running, whether I get it or not that'll be up to the coaches," Kerley added. One of those coaches is new offensive coordinator and former Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano, who Kerley says is also bringing changes to the team.
"Man, he's outspoken," Kerley said. "Tony Sparano, he's a good dude though, he knows what he's doing. He brings a different approach to the game and if everybody buys into it I think we'll be alright."
