Regressed: Took more sacks

Darnold’s mobility is one of his best assets, but it’s also one that’s gotten him into trouble at times. He finished the season with 33 sacks, which was three more than his rookie mark of 30. Some of this can be attributed to Darnold trying too hard to extend plays, but a lot of this will be pinned on the Jets’ horrendous offensive line that looked different every week and constantly underperformed.

Darnold needs to learn how to avoid sacks a little better, or how to throw away the ball when a sack is imminent. GM Joe Douglas can help Darnold out as well by building a better line in front of him for the 2020 season.
