Wearing a stale black t-shirt, a no-name white hat and even bleaker maroon shorts, there he was, the golden-armed kid worth millions to an organization sporting some of the same clothes you and I could whirl up via hand-me-down. Sam Darnold entered MetLife Stadium for the first time with no flash to go along with all emotion as seen on Tuesday night as part of Facebook’s Episode 4 of “One Jets Drive: The Road to Training Camp.”
This is the kid, the third selection of the 2018 NFL Draft who so easily showcases raw emotion. He turns excited (as seen when he and his rookie colleagues checked out their new professional digs) yet always stops short of the level of overly emotional.
