The New York Jets remain the only winless team in the National Football League, and with each one piling up, the team racks up hope that the team would draft Clemson quarterback prodigy Trevor Lawrence.
Sam Darnold, the team’s third-year quarterback who has shown signs of promise, admitted this week that he sees the pining for Lawrence, according to ESPN.
“Yeah, you know, I mean, I have social media,” Darnold told reporters. “I’ve seen some of the things, but … Yeah, we’ve got a game to win this week and that’s all we’re worried about.”
“For me, it’s out of my control. I’m here to do my best and help this team win games,” he said.
Darnold has 6,681 passing yards, 39 touchdown passes and 32 interceptions in 30 career games. New York is 0-6 this season and has Buffalo Bills coming to town Sunday.
As for as Lawrence goes, he is expected to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. He’s been the best quarterback prospect in college football since he came onto the scene in his freshman year.
