The NFL announced last week that coaching staffs can begin returning to team facilities which were shuttered during the coronavirus pandemic.

But players aren’t expected to get back on the field until training camp in late July. So New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is taking matters into his own hands.

 

The New York Daily News reports “Darnold will fly to Miami to work out with wide receivers Jamison Crowder, Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims this weekend." 

 

The third-year quarterback coordinated the three-day throwing session to help get in sync with his weapons. Perriman, who was signed this offseason in free agency, and Mims, who was drafted in the second round, have yet to get on the field with Darnold due to the coronavirus restrictions this offseason.

 

 

The Miami workouts won’t be Darnold’s first of the offseason. He spent part of the quarantine sheltering in place in Southern California with QB guru Jordan Palmer, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Washington Redskins quarterback Kyle Allen.

 

The 23-year-old Darnold also has participated in the Jets’ virtual offseason training program. In a conference call last month, Darnold explained what he’s focused on going into 2020.

 

“Continuing to work on my deep-ball accuracy is huge for me," Darnold said. "I feel like I left a couple opportunities out there on the field last year. I’m looking to hit those throws this year.”

Mims, Crowder, Perriman. Our probable starters. Doctson needs to get his ass down there if he wants a shot at redeeming his career.  Hopefully Herndon decides to show up, too, and I'm sure Berrios will be there as well....

[Warfish]

Good.  As he should.  Hopefully will help with familiarity and timing come gamedays.

I doubt they were invited.  Sam needs to focus on his primaries.  Secondaries likely have to wait till camp/preseason.

[KRL]

More players expected according to the Post.  Don't forget the Hazmat Suit when getting
on the plane Sam!!!

Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his skill players are getting a jump on training camp.

Darnold will fly to Florida later this week and conduct workouts this weekend with most of the Jets receivers, fellow quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends, according to a source.

The Jets, like all NFL teams, have not been able to practice together this spring because of COVID-19 restrictions. This will be the first time Darnold gets to work with some of his new receivers like rookie Denzel Mims and Breshad Perriman, who signed as a free agent. Jamison Crowder, who was with Darnold last year, is also expected to be there.

Running backs Le’Veon Bell and recently signed Frank Gore are also expected to be there, as is tight end Chris Herndon, who missed most of last season due to a suspension and injuries.

Darnold has been training near his home in Southern California, but is going to travel closer to Florida, where many of these players are based. The 23-year-old is showing his growing leadership by organizing the sessions.

It is reminiscent of former Jets QB Mark Sanchez, who organized practice sessions near his California home during three offseasons, starting during the 2011 lockout year. Sanchez named those “Jets West.”

I like that he has focused on the deep ball. As he says, he definitely left some plays on the field last year in that department and that usually means points.

Jamal Adams as well so he can learn to intercept once in a while.

The OL with all the new additions should be doing the same thing.

Awesome!

Are people who recently had mono considered people with pre-existing conditions?  j/w

[IndianaJet]

When Sam talks...his teammates listen.

According to Cimini there will be almost 2 dozen players there.  "Almost every key offensive skill position player is expected to attend"

Bell, Gore & Herndon will also be there. Great to see Darnold get the boys together.

Great news and great to see him step up and take charge as the leader of the offense.  I know he's had a lot of talks with sanchez about how he organized his jets west camp.  Sanchez and Darnold have a really good relationship, and have for a while since both are Cali and SC guys.   Say what you want about sanchez as a player, the guy did a really nice job with the Jets west camp even if it didnt materialize on the field often enough. 

[BigRy56]

Pure leadership - these things can't be taught. Sam will be the god of NY 2 years from now

[The Crusher]

Hmmmm  maybe ?

 

[BROOKLYN JET]

This should be totally voluntary, let's not shove a square head into a round hole.

[jeremy2020]

Remember the thread about Josh Allen doing this for the Bills and people freaked out because Sam hadn't done it? I like that now he is and it's truly the finest leadership ever seen by anyone ever. 

Ya'all are a teeter totter of emotions.

[BUM-KNEE]

Hopefully Cager goes and can better his odds of making the roster.

It’s great they’re getting together, and Sam is showing some leadership.

Heres a news flash though, just about every starting QB in the league has done the same thing.

[Greenbloodblitz]

Good stuff! I'm very pleased to hear that Bell will be attending. If he tried to pull his I'm not doing anything this offseason crap I'd be pretty down on him.

I wonder if any of the position coaches will be attending to help these guys out?

[GreenFish]

Nice. Glad the main guys will be there especially Herndon, Mims and Perriman.

Sounds like Bell and Perriman recommended the location. I checked out the website. Looks great.

Per Cimini, 2 dozen players are going to be there. ? That essentially means every single skilled player on the Jets 90 man roster will be there. We only have 22 TE/WR/RB. That’s one big camp. Golly.  If it’s going to be that big, I have assume there will be separate positional drills led by other players.

Per Cimini, Bell and Perriman were the ones to suggest the Florida location. It’s where the both of them train. He’s involved in the planning it seems.

Bell and Permian might’ve planned everything, and found the location, but Sam is giving up some prime tee times out in Cali, and probably a bunch of beach parties.

So don’t spoil the narrative, and let’s give credit where it’s due.

It does seem like most QBs have done this. Josh Allen held a 3 day camp at this same location a week ago. Sounds like Davis Webb was also there basically running the show as a de facto coach.

Im wondering if Joe Flacco or Fales will be there. It’ll help having another QB with such a large camp. Hopefully they take pics for the fans like Buffalo did. We can all probably use the distraction.

Props to all these guys.

From the way it sounds, a few guys like Bell, Perriman and the other Florida based guys were working out together, and just about every skill player on the team is heading down there to join them.

i like to tease about Darnold, but good on him for traveling across the country to join them.

great - sam catches cold by looking at an iceberg now he is going on a plane during a pandemic - what could go wrong...
