Cameras clicked, reporters took notes and veterans who weren't participating in the three-day minicamp showed up Friday to gawk at the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
The rookie had better get used to it, and the pressure that comes with playing in New York.
"I'm not worried about the pressure," Robertson said. "If I do worry about the pressure, I'll buckle under the pressure. I'm just going to do what I've been doing."
The 6-foot-1, 317-pound defensive tackle should fit right in with the Jets, who lacked depth on the line last season.
Coach Herman Edwards raved after Robertson's first two-hour morning practice.
"You could see the power," Edwards said. "He's a big man, thick and athletic, and he really loves football. All he says is, 'No, sir. Yes, sir.' When you draft a guy that high, you're getting the whole package."
