Luck for Sam? QB-needy Jets would be fortunate to land Darnold

With the third pick in the NFL draft, the New York Jets are expected to select a quarterback. We'll preview the top four prospects -- Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen.

On Monday, we profiled Allen. Next up: Darnold.

Sam Darnold, USC

6-foot-3, 220 pounds

In a nutshell: The 2017 season began with a "Suck for Sam" movement among quarterback-starved Jets fans. As it turned out, the Jets played their way out of the Darnold sweepstakes by winning too many games.
