FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Here they go again.
For the second time in three years, the New York Jets will invest a high draft pick in a quarterback, a college wonder boy tasked with the enormous challenge of invigorating a star-crossed franchise. They botched it with Sam Darnold, whose shortcomings were exacerbated by organizational failure on multiple levels. Now it's fair to wonder:
Will it be any different with BYU's Zach Wilson, the presumptive No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft?
Let's put it this way: While it's hard to overlook the Jets' long history of ruining quarterbacks, the organization is in a better place than it was in 2018, when Darnold arrived with so much hype.
