Gase is starting to see a difference in Sam Darnold now that New York’s third-year quarterback will finally have some offensive continuity for the first time in his career.

Gase said Darnold has looked more confident this offseason, has a better understanding of the offense and is continuing to build relationships with all members of the team.

As for Le’Veon Bell, Gase is excited for what his running back can do in his second year in the team’s offense. Gase mentioned that Bell has a lot to build on from 2019 and that a better knowledge of the system and much improved offensive line should help aid a bounce-back season.

“I know this. He’s not a guy that I would ever doubt,” Gase said. “I’m excited to get him going on the field… He’s looking to prove to people that he’s still at the top of his game.”
