BALTIMORE — One thought during a relatively sleepy day on the NFL training camp slate (more camp coverage to come tomorrow):
Jets quarterback Sam Darnold went to work for the first time as a professional on Monday, saddled with the needless emotional weight of a perceived prima donna quarterback who wouldn’t sign his rookie deal. The potential for him to get perforated at the podium was apparently great enough that the team’s media staff held him back from reporters, with his only message to the fans being a hurried nine-second Instagram video. Watch it if you get the chance.
