On this week’s episode of Flight 29, featuring former Jets running back Bilal Powell and Rami Lavi, the pair kicked around some ideas in regards to some of this year’s top signal callers expected to enter the NFL draft. When it got to the topic of Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, Powell may have opened some eyes when he said Mendoza “Reminds me of Sam Darnold”.
Jets fans will of course be torn on that comparison just as they were torn over whether or not the Jets should have let Darnold go, which is a point some fans still argue to this day.
