General manager Mike Maccagnan of the New York Jets indicated on Wednesday that Sam Darnold, the No. 3 pick in last week's NFL Draft, will compete with incumbent Josh McCown for the starting quarterback job this season.
Maccagnan was appearing on the Rick Eisen Show on NFL Now and after an early discussion about the Jets' plans for Darnold, Eisen asked point-blank if the former USC star would be given a chance to be the opening game starter.
