CLEVELAND — Troy Aikman rode the America’s Team rookie roller-coaster and lived to tell about it, all the way to Canton, Ohio. And this is what he would tell Sam Darnold:
“I was given some advice when I was coming into the league,” Aikman told The Post, “and it was simply, ‘Just try to maintain an even keel.’ I think when you come from college, and you’ve had success, that’s kind of the expectation when you come into the league, and you’re gonna lose some games. What ultimately separates the great quarterbacks in our game from the ones that are good is an ability to just lock in and get focused week in and week out.
