FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – Pop quiz: Name the New York Jets’ No. 1 wide receiver.

For the casual football fan, that question might leave them a bit stumped. After all, Brandon Marshall, of course, is a member of the Giants and Eric Decker is in Tennessee with the Titans – both offseason cuts as the Jets slashed several high-priced veterans.

Quincy Enunwa, who has all of 80 career receptions, was expected to be at the top of New York’s depth chart until a neck injury last Saturday night knocked him out for the season.

Give up? Well, the answer is: Robby Anderson.

Yep, that Robby Anderson who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Temple last year and made the Jets with an outstanding training camp. He had 42 catches for 587 yards and two TDs last season, and now suddenly finds himself the leader of a revamped and alarmingly inexperienced group of wide receivers.
