The No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold showed flashes of brilliance throughout his rookie season that made it easy to see why the team used such a high selection on him.
Darnold also took his rookie lumps last year, and understandably so.
Still, heading into his second NFL season, Darnold wants to smooth out those rough edges in his game, relying less on his arm and bringing the rest of his body along into being a more complete quarterback from a technique and mechanics standpoint (via team senior reporter Eric Allen):
I think being able to step to my target and getting my target line right is something that I’ve always wanted to work on.
