Jets QB Sam Darnold says new offense ready to do some damage

After a solid rookie season with plenty of flashes of the talent that made him a top-five draft pick last year, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is learning a new offense yet again.

But this time around, the former USC star is much more comfortable with his surroundings, and ready to take his game to the next level thanks to his familiarity with teammates and the NFL game.

Darnold is excited about being able to focus solely on learning the new scheme under new head coach Adam Gase, rather than having to get acclimated to the league like he did in his first pro season (via team reporter Olivia Landis):

I think for me, not coming in here as the new guy, I was just really comfortable.
