We all know that former USC star and current New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is filet mignon. He’s from the top of the food chain. A California quarterback with rockstar hair, great intangibles, and a freaking laser beam attached to his shoulder.
To a casual NFL fan if they looked at what the New York Jets have at the skill positions they would say Darnold is surrounded by trash. That would be an epic oversight.
While I admit, there aren’t multiple first-round picks available for Darnold to throw the pigskin to. But just because someone didn’t come with a silver spoon in their mouth, doesn’t mean they aren’t a worthy talented player.
