Keep your eye on ...

1. Jaguars receivers: Veteran wideout Torry Holt joined the team in the offseason, but Jacksonville released three of QB David Garrard's top targets from a year ago. Rookies Mike Thomas, Jarett Dillard and Tiquan Underwood will be looking to fill those spots and contribute immediately.

2. The versatility of rookie Pat White: The Dolphins drafted the former West Virginia QB Pat White in the second round. While he may not be ready to be a full-time QB in the NFL, Dolphins fans are excited what the speedy White can bring to their Wildcat offense.

3. Miami's secondary: The Dolphins won the AFC East last season, but their pass defense ranked 25th in the league. The team added rookie CB Vontae Davis to the mix and hope the revamped group will gel by the time they face division opponents with superstar wideouts.
