NY Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has had quite the eventful first two seasons in the NFL. From having to deal with ill-timed injuries to coaching and roster turnover, it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for the former USC star.
But now entering his third NFL campaign, all eyes are on him to take the next step towards being a viable, long-term starter in this league.
