Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is getting very familiar with the Broncos offenses of 2013 and ’14, particularly their quarterback.
Darnold has been studying tape of Peyton Manning, who set records in Adam Gase’s offense in Denver during those years. Now, Darnold is learning Gase’s scheme and studying one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history to try to pick up some tips.
“I think he’s just taking it in a little bit at a time,” Gase said Wednesday. “He’s picking certain things to watch, whether it’s a conceptual thing, protections, footwork, certain routes. We have it broken down so many different ways.
