Rookie quarterback Sam Darnold picked up some new fans on Sunday when he led the Jets to a fourth-quarter comeback victory on the road against the Bills.
One of them is Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien, whose team visits MetLife Stadium on Saturday afternoon to face the Jets.
"I really like Sam,” O’Brien said on Monday. “I liked him coming out in the draft. I think he’s got good poise. He’s got a really good arm. He’s accurate. He’s smart. I think he can extend plays. I think he’s an excellent young quarterback. I think the young quarterbacks in the league right now, it’s really an exciting time.
