After a few days of holding out, rookie quarterback Sam Darnold is back in the mix and ready to begin his first year with the New York Jets. Darnold didn’t miss much but once he signed his new contract and got into uniform, the moment he stepped foot on the practice field at One Jets Drive, he heard it.
Aside from cheers and smiles, players started to do a slow clap as he jogged across the field to join veteran quarterbacks Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. It was quite the scene to see as the slow clap by his teammates undoubtedly made him feel weird about the entire situation.
