New York Jets QB Sam Darnold not taking any chances with COVID-19

Sam Darnold has adopted a “boring” lifestyle. The New York Jets franchise quarterback is putting himself in his own kind of quarantine.

“For me, I’m just going to stay in my apartment and really just travel from there to here inside the building,” Darnold said via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “That’s going to be it for me. It might be boring, but that’s kind of what I have to do at this point.”

Darnold, 23, knows that illness can derail a season. He faced a fight with mononucleosis in 2019 that cost him four games and likely affected him throughout the 2019 season.
