Sam Darnold hasn’t taken a snap or thrown a pass for the Jets. But team CEO Christopher Johnson is convinced the rookie is going to be Gang Green’s quarterback of the future, and his addition the turning point in team history.
“I think people are going to look back … I honestly think they’re going to look back 20 years from now and say this is the moment the Jets shifted into a new year, that they became a great team,” Johnson said while at BTIG Charity Day in Midtown for the Lucas Research Alliance.
The Jets are a long way from greatness, with no playoff berths since 2010 and no Super Bowls since the 1968 season.
