For new Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, the goal is clear.
“I think winning a Super Bowl is everyone’s goal,” Darnold said Friday at his introductory press conference. “Entering a season, whether I’m a backup or I’m the starting quarterback, everyone on the team wants to win a Super Bowl. That’s the goal for everyone. Everything short of that is a failure and we’re aware of that. Whatever my role is I’m going to star in that role to work us toward that Super Bowl.”
This coming season is the 50th anniversary of Super Bowl III, the Jets’ only win and only trip to the big game.
