Darnold Looks to Rebound Thursday Night

The verdict is still out on the No. 3 overall pick in the draft Sam Darnold. So far – maybe not so good – but definitely not bad. It's tough to pluck a fresh-faced rookie from college and expect his baptism by fire in the NFL to be seamless, particularly on rebuilding team like the Jets. However, Darnold has comported himself fairly well, although his three interceptions over his first pair of games give us cause for pause. New York's play calling has been wise in terms of executing a balanced attack and not putting too much of the offensive onus on Darnold.
