Jets' Sam Darnold tries to shrug off praise from Broncos' Von Miller: 'I'm not worried about that'

The Sam Darnold fan club added a notable member on Wednesday: Von Miller.

The Broncos' six-time Pro Bowl pass rusher heaped compliments on the Jets' rookie quarterback, saying he thought he should have been drafted No. 1 overall.

But Darnold, after hearing about Miller's comments for the first time, did his best to play it cool.

"That's high praise from a really talented player - probably one of the best players in the league," Darnold said. "Obviously, you know, he's a great player and I'm looking forward to going up against him.
