Jets believe Sam Darnold is ready to take a big leap this season

Sam Darnold cut down on his intake of In-N-Out burgers to get ready for this season. His focus is on less three-N-outs for the Jets’ offense.

Darnold or his conditioning wasn’t the reason the Jets’ offense sputtered for much of last season. But he will be a major factor in what they do in 2020, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic prevented teams from having any offseason activities and delayed the on-field portion of training camp for three weeks.

The third-year quarterback had extra time to dissect and study Adam Gase’s offense, and work on his body and arm strength.
