Jets select Sam Darnold in 2018 NFL Draft

The pick is officially in! With the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Jets have selected their future franchise quarterback. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the Jets have just drafted quarterback Sam Darnold out of USC.

For months now, it has been rumored that Darnold would have been taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns but he slipped in this year’s draft. Out of the Big 4 at quarterback, Darnold has the most upside due to his potential to be something special down the line.

Of course, Darnold isn’t perfect and is likely a year or two away from everything coming together for him.
