Now that the Jets have their franchise QB in Sam Darnold, Mike Maccagnan can build a championship contender

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The latest reinforcement for Mike Maccagnan that the Jets are on the correct path toward building an eventual championship team came Thursday morning.

“I was literally sitting in my office earlier and noticed the first guy running out to practice today was Sam Darnold, maybe 20 minutes before everybody else, to get warmed up,” Maccagnan said later in the morning in a conference room at One Jets Drive. “Some of those things you really feel good about as you go through this process.”

No, it wasn’t a touchdown pass in the final minute of the fourth quarter to win a game.
