Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold have more in common than the future hopes of their respective downtrodden franchises.
From their mobility in the pocket to accurate right arms, the Nos. 1 and 3 picks in last April’s draft aren’t as different as their personalities might make them seem. Just ask Jets fullback Dimitri Flowers, who has spent training camp a locker down from Darnold after playing by Mayfield’s side for three years at Oklahoma.
When he watches Darnold, there are times he gets flashbacks to his college days, when he witnessed Mayfield’s magic en route to the Heisman Trophy and College Football Playoff last year.
