NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Todd Bowles is either an incredible poker player or has just let the cat out of the bag.

Speaking to reporters at the NFL meetings in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday, the Jets’ head coach dropped some major hints about which quarterback his team will select with the No. 3 pick in the draft next month.

He said he wants a signal-caller with “leadership, accuracy, toughness, intelligence.”

All of those terms have been used on numerous occasions to describe Baker Mayfield, last year’s Heisman Trophy winner.
