After an impressive debut, rookie quarterback Sam Darnold appears to be the favorite to win the starting quarterback job for the New York Jets.
"He's more than simply the future. He's the present, too," Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News said of the No. 3 overall draft pick. "Barring deer-in-the-headlights moments over the next couple weeks, it’d be an upset if Darnold isn't the Week 1 starter."
Darnold is expected to start for the Jets Thursday against the Washington Redskins after coming off the bench in Week 1 of the preseason against the Atlanta Falcons.
