FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Jets new receivers coach Shawn Jefferson was calmly answering questions about his group. But when the subject turned to Sam Darnold he couldn’t control himself.
Jefferson went on an expletive-filled rant while praising Darnold.
“Excuse my French when I say this, but he’s a [expletive] dude,” Jefferson said. “He’s a dude with a [expletive] arm and he’s accurate. I haven’t been around a guy like that. It’s awesome to be around a guy like that. He’s a dude.”
There were more expletives. But it’s clear Jefferson, who worked in Detroit, Tennessee and Miami previously, believes Darnold will be a difference maker for his receiving core as well as the Jets.
