It has been 106 days since Sam Darnold shockingly fell to the Jets in the first round of the draft like a gift from the football gods. On Friday, they finally get to unwrap that gift.
Darnold will make his NFL debut against the Falcons in the Jets’ first preseason game of the season at MetLife Stadium. Jets coach Todd Bowles did not say how he will deploy his three quarterbacks in the game, but expect to see plenty of No. 14.
Darnold has taken the majority of the snaps in practice this week as the Jets prepared for the game.
