On Sunday, I read this piece by Timothy Rodriguez on With the First Pick where he argues that this is going to be a “prove it” season for New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold. The third overall pick in 2018, Darnold has posted a passer rating of 81.1 over 26 starts and thrown more than one interception per game. With another draft class expected to supply at least a couple of franchise quarterbacks to the league (honestly at this point, media is so obsessed with what a “franchise quarterback” is that it seems every draft must have 3-4 of them which is unrealistic), many are viewing 2020 as a “prove it” year for Darnold.
