Jets RB La’Mical Perine on Sam Darnold: “I hope he’s on our team this year”

Sam Darnold‘s future is unclear. What is clear, however, is La’Mical Perine‘s praise for the young quarterback.

“No disrespect to any of the quarterbacks in the draft…[Darnold is] a great leader,” Perine said while appearing on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” Wednesday. “You have to put good weapons around him and he can very well succeed and be one of the top quarterbacks in the league…I hope he’s on our team this year. He’s my starting quarterback.”

Sure, there’s much talk in regard to the Jets‘ 2021 starting quarterback options.
