Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold might be the biggest story of the 2024 NFL season thus far. Now, Darnold is set to do battle with the team that drafted him with the No.
3 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Jets, across the pond on Sunday. Darnold's time with the Jets lasted just three years (2018-20).
When asked if he felt that the Jets "failed" him, Darnold replied "no" on Wednesday. "I had a lot of opportunities in New York, and I always felt like I could've played better there," Darnold said.
Last week, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said he believes "organizations fail young quarterbacks before young quarterbacks fail organizations" on "The Rich Eisen Show." While he flashed upside at times throughout his stint with the Jets, Darnold underwhelmed with Gang Green.
