Florham Park, N.J. — Sam Darnold has looked every bit the top quarterback the Jets envisioned when they drafted him with the third overall pick out of USC. Teddy Bridgewater has been even better than expected after returning from nearly two years away from the game because of a severe knee injury.
Hey, remember Josh McCown?
The 39-year-old veteran is still listed first on the depth chart, and coach Todd Bowles hasn’t announced that anyone else will be the starter heading into the season. But with the Jets coaches trying to get a definitive read on Darnold and Bridgewater during the preseason, McCown may very well be losing his grip on the starting job.
