The New York Jets have seemingly found their answer at the quarterback position. After years of searching for the true franchise savior complete with failed project after failed project, the Jets stumbled upon USC quarterback Sam Darnold in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Finally, it appears the Jets have their starter for the near and distant future.
But every good starter needs a quality backup.
The Jets saw this firsthand last season when Darnold went down with a foot injury and was forced to miss three weeks of action. This forced veteran backup Josh McCown into a starting role, a role he had filled admirably during his first year with the team in 2017.
