That, on the surface, may seem strange for a Southern California guy who is an All-Star third baseman for the Colorado Rockies (and playing in the heart of Denver Broncos country) to be the owner of an East Coast football team jersey. However, there is a story behind it. You see, it’s more about the player’s name on the jersey and the connection with him than the team itself.
Not long after Sam Darnold was drafted third overall by the Jets in the 2018 NFL draft, Arenado made the purchase of a Darnold Jets jersey.
