Jets fans, meet your latest savior candidate: Sam Darnold.
Sam Darnold, meet the NFL’s most passionate fan base — one famished for nearly 50 years, starved for a franchise quarterback to lead the Jets to a title.
Mike Maccagnan, meet the player who will make-or-break the rest of your NFL career.
This is exactly what Maccagnan, the Jets’ general manager, envisioned when he traded three second-round picks to the Colts (two this year and one next year) to move from No. 6 overall to No. 3: Darnold somehow slipping to the Jets when their number was called in Thursday night’s first round of the draft.
