After practice on Tuesday’s organized team activities, Sam Darnold made a bold claim ahead of the 2022 season.
“As long as I know what we’re doing, what the defense is doing, I’m confident I can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league,” Darnold told reporters Tuesday, per ESPN.
Darnold will have to make significant strides in his game if he wants to join the upper echelon of signal-callers in the NFL. Just last year, he threw for 2,527 yards and nine touchdowns to 13 interceptions in his 12 games played.
Since being drafted by the Jets in 2018, Darnold has thrown 54 touchdowns to 52 interceptions and is 17–32 as a starter.
