Many believed the New York Jets had “gotten their guy” back in 2018 when the team selected then-USC quarterback Sam Darnold No. 3 overall.
But nearly three whole seasons later, Darnold hasn’t exactly developed into “the guy,” and is instead looked at by many as “the bridge” to Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who the Jets could draft if they lose each of their remaining games.
Darnold’s lack of true development over the course of his career is undoubtedly disappointing for Jets fans all throughout, and head coach Adam Gase is certainly acknowledging his own role in the situation.
