Sam Darnold speaks about importance of Josh McCown

For a rookie quarterback, a veteran mentor alongside him is such an important part of the growth process. Such is the case with Sam Darnold and Josh McCown, two quarterbacks that have bonded for months now doing their best to make the New York Jets a competitive team.

The quarterback position is easily the most important spot on the team as the Jets wisely brought back McCown for Darnold’s rookie year. McCown has done so much for Darnold since he was selected as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft that it helped earn him the starting job.
