Peyton Manning Says New Jets HC Adam Gase Is 'A Good Fit' for Sam Darnold

Future Hall of Fame quarterback and five-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning told reporters Friday that he thinks the partnership between first-year New York Jets head coach Adam Gase and second-year quarterback Sam Darnold is "a good fit."

"I think it's a good fit for Sam," Manning said. "Adam was wonderful to me after my injury. I had to learn to play football in a sort of different physical state because I couldn't throw the ball the same way."

Gase and Manning worked together on the Denver Broncos for three seasons.
