The Facts:
All four Jets quarterbacks huddled together before the start of team drills on the first day of mini-camp Thursday. One emerged to take the first snap from center. Surprise. It was a rookie. Kellen Clemens lined up, barked orders and dropped back but was forced to run after feeling some pressure. All the while, Chad Pennington looked on, waiting for his chance. It came next, as the second quarterback in, with the backup offensive line.

That is also why he wants to see each player working on a different unit. ... Key words here? Competition wide open. ... We'll be watching closely.
