NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New York Jets fans got their first glimpse of rookie quarterback Sam Darnold in action during Friday night’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Any quarterback taken third overall in the draft is going to bring high hopes. So far in training camp, Darnold has exceeded those expectations, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reports.
On Friday night, he stepped off the practice field and into an NFL game for the first time.
“It’s also about being able to get rid of the ball in a timely manner, like we just talked about, and being able to process that information, because we’re live,” he said before the game.
