Sam Darnold has been throwing the football as much as possible and trying to connect with his teammates through FaceTime and texts. That’s all a quarterback can do to stay sharp in this new virtual world.
But it is challenging for Darnold to build any chemistry and continuity at a time when those things will be imperative for the Jets to have any success in 2020.
They’re not a veteran team that’s been together a long time. Darnold will be playing behind an almost entirely retooled offensive line and with two new receivers on the outside – Breshad Perriman and second-round pick Denzel Mims.
