Greg Buttle says start Sam Darnold immediately

Add former New York Jets linebacker Greg Buttle to the list of people jumping on the Sam Darnold bandwagon. After watching Darnold’s impressive debut in his first preseason game, Buttle is convinced no one else should start under center for the Jets come Week 1.

Darnold shined in the Jets’ preseason opener. He completed 13 of 18 passes for 96 yards and one touchdown. The Jets would go on to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 17-0. Buttle likely sees that Darnold is everything he’s been hyped up to be and then some.

How impressive has Darnold been so far in preseason action?
