Sam Darnold has only seen video of Le’Veon Bell, but he’s already imagined what it will be like to have him in the backfield after the Jets signed the two-time All-Pro to a four-year, $52.5-million contract last month.
“I love it,” Darnold said Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. “I mean, what’s not to love about it? Le’Veon is a great player. He’s very instinctual too. He’s very quarterback friendly, which I’ve noticed watching his tape a little bit. Whenever Big Ben [Roethlisberger] was back there, you could kind of sense that, as a quarterback, too, you sense when time runs out.
