Many Sam Darnold apologists have claimed that the former first-round pick has the skill to succeed in the NFL but was hindered by working with Adam Gase over the last two seasons.
One of Darnold’s closest collaborators appears to be subscribing to that theory.
Speaking with Joseph Person of The Athletic, former New York Jets center Ryan Kalil was hopeful Darnold could make a difference in his new locale of Charlotte after he was dealt to the Carolina Panthers for a trio of draft picks last week.
