The storyline has already been beaten into the ground – Tom Brady (2000) and Luke Falk (2018) were both selected with pick No. 199 in the NFL Draft. The New York Jets can only hope their third starting quarterback in three weeks doesn’t get beaten into the ground while facing a +22 point spread when traveling to take on the New England Patriots in Week 3.
If the Jets are looking for a more accurate idea of what Falk can hopefully become in Sam Darnold’s absence, a better case study is what Gardner Minshew has done since taking over at quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
