This is a reminder to everyone that this is rookie camp. Which means drawing conclusions from anything is a lesson in futility. So take everything you read below with a pinch of salt. It's the most basic camp you can get, the practises are short and it's all no-contact. We have a mixture of UDFA's and draft picks and players looking for an invitation to the main training camp. I've collected some tweets below for you, so enjoy having something that resembles football back:

Boyd struggling with mechanics a bit, an elongated release. Accuracy issues. Still early in the day, may settle in. #nyjets

#Jets rookie camp factoid No. 1: Former Furman TE Colin Anderson is a direct descendant of Civil War captain Gen. Robert C Anderson.

Jace Amaro not the fastest, but fluid receiver, good hands. Big dude. Have to think he can develop as a blocker. #nyj

Tajh Boyd has a hitch in throwing motion. Accuracy, ball placement are off. #nyj
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) May 16, 2014
Jeremiah George just picked off Tajh Boyd on a bobbled ball by Enunwa. Ball was behind receiver. #nyj

Former #Jets S Eric Smith helping out w/ ST drills at the moment. He's an intern w the team.

Amaro rises and attacks the ball very well. Good body control. #nyjets

Day 1 of rookie minicamp in the books. Standout on offense was Jace Amaro. On defense, saw some sparks from Trevor Reilly. #nyjets
— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) May 16, 2014
#Jets practice: Amaro, Saunders among those that stood out. Evans dropped deep ball. Boyd struggled w/ accuracy, but had 2 nice deep balls.

Rex on Trevor Reilly: "I've been impressed with him. Smart guy, we knew it. Kind of a like a Garrett McIntyre" #nyjets
— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) May 16, 2014
Rex on Calvin Pryor: "Mentally he's sharp, he's into it."
— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) May 16, 2014
Rex on Amaro today: "We’ve got a new toy and we’re trying to feature him." #nyj
— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) May 16, 2014
Calvin Pryor almost picked Tajh Boyd today. Rex: "We’d be OK if you picked that ball, you don’t have to go hit somebody." #nyj
— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) May 16, 2014
Rex on Amaro, who caught a ton of passes in practice: "It's like Marty thinks we've got a new toy and we're trying to feature him." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
Rex on McDougle "He can do a little bit of everything. ... He can play inside, outside and he's not afraid of contact." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
McDougle wore a red no-contact jersey today (shoulder). Rex: "He's going to be ready to roll when we go to training camp." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
Rex talking up Calvin Pryor, Jace Amaro + McDougle. Says McDougle will compete w/ both Kyle Wilson and Dimitri Patterson #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 16, 2014
Rex reiterates that Dimitri Patterson will be given every opportunity to compete for a starting CB job opposite Milliner. #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
Rex on Amaro: "I think he’s got the skill set to be an inline blocker as well." #nyj
— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) May 16, 2014
Rex said OL Tevon Conrad, who was released today, didn't pass the physical. #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 16, 2014
"When u first see him u say, 'oh, he's a lil bitty guy. But then u watch him play..." -- Rex on @jalen6saunders #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 16, 2014
Rex on Saunders: "This is one tough little guy. ... He's small but I don't think we need to tell him that. He plays like he's 225 pounds"
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
Observation: #Jets fans won't have trouble rooting for Trevor Reilly. He's been through a lot in 26yrs, but he's got a great attitude
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 16, 2014
Amaro: "I'm not going to say I want to catch 100 balls, but I think, for me, that's going to be my goal every season." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 16, 2014
Amaro asked if he has a chip as a 2nd rdr. "Oh, yeah. ... I'm holding it in, but I think eventually people are going to realize." #Jets
