Jets quarterback Sam Darnold is staying fresh throughout the virtual offseason program, throwing passes on the beach.
Darnold’s trainer, Jordan Palmer, recently took a video of him working on his footwork, as well as Darnold throwing a deep ball down the beach.

Darnold has spent the offseason working with Palmer, focusing primarily on improving his arm strength and deep ball accuracy. He’s also been joined by his good friends and fellow NFL quarterbacks Josh Allen and Kyle Allen.
With NFL training facilities temporarily closed as well as most fields, Darnold had to get creative to get some throws in. The beaches in Southern California are open as long as social distancing guidelines are followed.
For the Jets, it may be a while before their training facility opens back up. All but 10 teams are set to reopen their training facilities on Monday, but the Jets are not one of the teams that can open theirs. The state of New Jersey still has restrictions in place that prevent the Jets from opening their facility.
At least Darnold is making good use of his time throughout this public health crisis by staying in shape and working on his craft.
