Jets general manager Joe Douglas made a promise to Sam Darnold’s parents the first time he met them last summer, and he plans to make it stand up.
Douglas told the Darnolds he will make sure Sam has a strong line in front of him and plenty of weapons at his disposal. Douglas has done some work to that end, but he knows he has more to do.
“That’s our focus – doing everything we can to help Sam succeed,” Douglas said during a conference call Wednesday afternoon.
