FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Had things worked out a little differently, the Jets could have been going to Cleveland this week to face Sam Darnold instead of flying there with him.
The Browns had the No. 1 pick in the draft, and many believedthey would take Darnold. Cleveland surprised and selected Baker Mayfield. Darnold went No. 3 and is the face of the Jets and the future of their franchise. But he said he thought he could have been a Brown.
“Yeah, I thought I could have ended up there or several other teams,” Darnold said after practice Monday.
