Uh-oh! Darnold fumbles opening snaps in 1st Jets practice
Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports
Hopefully, he was just paying homage to those who came before him because Sam Darnold looked more like Christian Hackenberg and Mark Sanchez than a potential franchise quarterback in his first New York Jets practice.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft fumbled his very first snap in 11-on-11 drills at rookie camp Friday and fumbled another snap a couple plays later.
The USC product also took two sacks in the opening round of 11-of-11.

Don't worry, Jets fans, it's only rookie camp, and it's only Day 1 at that ... gulp.
