FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — As the Jets move into the vacation months, coach Todd Bowles made it clear: Josh McCown is the No. 1 quarterback going into training camp.
During offseason practices, McCown got most of the first-team snaps with No. 2 Teddy Bridgewater and rookie first-round pick Sam Darnold as the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart.
“Josh will start from training camp and we’ll see what happens at the end of training camp,” Bowles said Thursday.
McCown was the No. 1 quarterback last season as well but the Jets gave Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg more practice and preseason snaps in an attempt to create competition.
