New York Jets first-round pick Sam Darnold was back in his old neighborhood prior to the NFL draft working with mentor Jordan Palmer, a former NFL quarterback, on a new tech program that will hopefully help all quarterbacks in the near future.
Darnold and Palmer are serving as advisory staff members for Wilson, which makes the official balls used by the NFL. The program is called the Wilson X Connected Football, which uses footballs that have computer chips embedded in them. The idea is to use the data obtained in the film room and maybe during games as the information becomes available.
