The Jets had their first organized team activity (OTA) practice that was open to the media on Thursday. Most of the attention focused on coach Adam Gase’s news conference and his answers about the firing of general manager Mike Maccagnan. But there was some actual football.
Here are some observations from that first open practice:
1. Second-year quarterback Sam Darnold looked really good. Now, it is only May and you can’t read too much into these OTA practices when players are in shorts. Still, Darnold looked comfortable in Gase’s offense and made some jaw-dropping throws.
