Sam Darnold Saw First-Team Reps Wednesday
6 years agoNew York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold saw a handful of first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday, but head coach Todd Bowles has said that Josh McCown is the front-runner for the starting job. "Obviously, it's a coach's decision," Darnold said, when asked about claiming the starting job. "The competitor in me, yeah, I want to start, but it's whatever is best for the team. ... With Josh and Teddy, it's a huge challenge." Darnold may be the most NFL-ready of all the quarterbacks taken in this year's draft, and he probably has the best avenue to playing time right away with the Jets. That won't necessarily make him that attractive as a fantasy backup in Year 1, though. Darnold, like all the other rookie QBs in this draft class, are much more attractive dynasty/keeper assets.
