As I mentioned yesterday. This is rookie minicamp, the most watered down football camp you'll get. No contact, very little difficulty in schemes and most players are still getting sorted after having to uproot their lives and head to New York. So take everything with a pinch of salt, don't get too high on the positives or too low on the negatives:

Would you talk trash to an Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald? Pryor: "He’s human right?" #nyj

Again, guys, for those asking about Alex Green ... he's still on the #Jets. Rex says he'll compete for a job this spring/summer.

Rookie or not, Pryor said he is who he is. He's confident, but he's not a showoff. Kid seems to have a good head on his shoulders #jets

Rex on Thurman: "The guy I know wouldn't put his hands on anybody, let alone a woman." But Ryan admits he doesn't know facts of case.

Among UDFAs, Rex says he likes former Iowa LB A.J. Edds."He's really jumped out probably more than any of 'em" #Jets

Rex on Tajh: “I think he’s got the physical talent 2 b an accurate passer. He's got a gr8 arm. But I recognize there's a lot of work there"

Rex: "U wanna have as much speed on ur team as possible." Rex then references the adage: 'Size hurts, speed kills.'

Rex happy with depth at WR this offseason: "From top to bottom, we're in much better shape than we were last year." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) May 17, 2014
Rex: "Landry's gonna play a ton -- as a clear-cut starter or whatever u wanna call it. ...He might end up playing more than anyone." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 17, 2014
Rex says he saw drops from receivers/Amaro, but didn't come down too hard on them for it. #nyj

Rex on WR drops today: "When ur head's spinning a lil bit, ur focus is a lil off." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 17, 2014
You can tell this rookie camp is hurting Calvin Pryor. Dude flying around the field early in team, wishing he could hit somebody.
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) May 17, 2014
Not a good day for rookie WRs: All dropping today. Rite of spring for Jets.#nyj
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) May 17, 2014
Saunders was down on sideline after trying to make a diving catch. WR was a lil gimpy, tried to stretch out right leg after hitting ground
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 17, 2014
Saunders appears fine.... After getting hydrated, he grabs helmet and heads back to field #jets

Tajh will need some ice after camp, thrown a lot of balls. IK has flashed on some rushes. SAT practice winding down. Rex to podium soon.
