The Jets made a daring trade in March, positioning themselves to select one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft.
The trade, in which the Jets moved from No. 6 overall to No. 3, paid off. But after drafting Sam Darnold on Thursday night and electrifying their long-suffering fan base, now comes the hard part.
What happens at the quarterback position?
When the Jets open rookie minicamp on Friday at their Florham Park, New Jersey, facility, Darnold will be watched closely by the offensive coaches.
The Jets could bring in another rookie quarterback on a free- agent tryout so they don’t wear out Darnold’s.
