AJ McCarron Jersey , but one member of the team’s brass already sounds convinced that winning the job for Week One will be the least of Darnold’s accomplishments with the team.
Jets chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson opted against taking a measured approach Tuesday when discussing what Darnold will mean to the Jets in 2018 and beyond.

Teams trading up to take a quarterback at No. 3 are doing so because they hope the outcome is going to be exactly what Johnson has in mind for Darnold. Getting things to work out that way often proves to be more difficult, but at least Darnold knows that the guy on top of the organization is behind him all the way.
