Brandon Marshall pleased with Bryce Petty, who used to be 'fat and overweight'

FLORHAM PARK -- One of the biggest changes from rookie Bryce Petty, to the second-year pro just named the Jets starting quarterback?

His waistline, according to receiver Brandon Marshall.

"Last year he was fat and overweight," Marshall said lovingly. "I'm being honest. He was fat and overweight."

Marshall's half-joking shot at Petty came during a rather entertaining 20-minute media chat on Wednesday. The wideout touched upon everything from his future, to the need to keep coach Todd Bowles, and, of course, Petty, who was named the starting quarterback on Sunday.
