The Jets will line up against a handful of familiar names on Sunday at Carolina, notably QB Sam Darnold, who was traded to the Panthers in April. Other former Jets on the Panthers include WR Robby Anderson, OL Pat Elflein, LB Frankie Luvu, LB Julian Stanford and S Juston Burris. QB James Morgan is on the Panthers' practice squad.
"We know he can make all the throws, his arm talent is very high," S Marcus Maye said of Darnold, his teammate for three seasons. "He does well with off-schedule with his feet and things like that, so we just got to play sound, give him different looks, pressure the pocket, not let him get comfortable and get physical outside with those guys."
Saleh added on Anderson, who had a career best 95 receptions and 1,096 yards last season, his first with the Panthers: "He's got tremendous vertical speed. Obviously, you got to know where he is because of his ability to blow the top off in coverage and win one-on-ones and especially vertically. He's a very talented young man. He's got a lot of fight in him, too. His mindset, he's built the right way. He's going to be a definite challenge to deal with."
