Jets' WRs tired of catching flak, ready to surprise critics

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Six years ago, the New York Jets' receiving corps was so bad that cornerback Antonio Cromartie volunteered to help out as a two-way player -- a not-so-grand gesture that insulted some of the receivers.

The current cast of characters is better than that rag-tag group -- any Chaz Schilens fans out there? -- but it's certainly not getting any love from the so-called experts. Surely, you're aware of the narrative:

They don't have a true No. 1 receiver. ... There aren't enough weapons to help Sam Darnold develop.
