Sam Darnold lends compelling voice to Jets' quarterback competition

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Since arriving Monday after a three-day contract dispute, New York Jets rookie Sam Darnold has impressed his new teammates with his ability to play catch-up, on the field and in the classroom.

And his voice isn't half-bad, either.

In a classic case of rookie hazing, Darnold was asked to sing in front of the team. He belted out "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton.

"Great song," Darnold said after Wednesday's practice.

The harmony is back now that the contract stalemate is over.

Speaking to reporters for the first time since signing his four-year, $30 million contract, Darnold said he has no regrets about the three-day impasse.
