The Jets have made their long-anticipated selection near the top of the 2018 NFL Draft tonight, selecting USC quarterback Sam Darnold with their third overall pick.
Darnold dropped to the Jets when the Browns selected Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield with the first pick and the Giants opted to go with Penn State RB Saquon Barkley with their second pick.
He joins the list of first-round QBs in Green & White history that includes Joe Namath in 1965, Richard Todd in 1976, Ken O'Brien in 1983, Chad Pennington in 2000 and Mark Sanchez, another Southern Cal product, in 2009.
