Jets’ top pick Sam Darnold progresses through learning curve at minicamp

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Day 2 for Sam Darnold as the Jets’ quarterback of the future was met with more fumbled snaps, which led to a switch at center, a pair of interceptions and some strong throws.

It’s clear that Darnold is on another level than some of his teammates during the weekend rookie minicamp as he moves forward in the process of becoming the franchise quarterback.

“He’s comfortable and obviously he’s doing a lot of learning and taking on a lot with the playbook and the installation and getting used to the new guys and used to the line,” coach Todd Bowles said Saturday.
