FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jeremy Bates already knew Sam Darnold was pretty special from working with the No. 3 overall draft pick in the offseason.
Still, the New York Jets offensive coordinator wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the young quarterback on his first day of training camp.
After all, Darnold was three days late because of a contract holdout and Bates figured he would have some catching up to do.
“When he came out on the field, he didn’t even have meetings, and he just went in there and started calling plays and running plays,” Bates recalled Monday.
