FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Yes, it’s only the preseason. But there have already been moments when Sam Darnold does something that just takes his coach’s breath away.

Take the 15-yard pass on second down that the Jets' second-year quarterback completed to Quincy Enunwa on the first drive at Atlanta last week. Adam Gase can’t stop raving about it.

“That throw to Quincy, I don’t know I’ve seen many that were better in my career,” Gase said Tuesday.
