FOXBORO - The race for roster spots at wide receiver is heating up, and one player making the most of his opportunities is Jabar Gaffney [stats].
Signed early last season after not receiving a contract offer from the Houston Texans [team stats], Gaffney has exhibited a firm grasp of the offense and the ability to get open thus far in training camp. Gaffney joins Reche Caldwell [stats] and Kelley Washington in a battle for what will likely be the final two spots for receivers.
“I’m just working,” Gaffney said. “The coaches will decide how I’m doing. You think you’re doing good and then you watch the film and everything comes to light. . . . You have to come out here knowing your role on the team. No matter how many Pro Bowls you’ve made, it doesn’t matter. It’s about what you’re doing right now.”

I wish him the best, I am going to be sick if somehow he lights it up and it is because of the Texan offense is why he didn't
Gaffney has taken a number of reps with the first-team offense, finding holes in the zone and getting open along the sidelines. It’s something he seems to have a knack for, and he attributes it more to his mind than anything physical.
“It’s just about learning the offense and knowing what you can and can’t do,” he said. “Then it’s about learning the defense. Once you know what the defense is doing, you can get a better feel for getting open in the zones. It’s more knowledge than anything else. The more you know, the more you can relax and let things happen without having to think too hard.”
