Shepard got into scuffles with both Winters and Beachum. Beating both regularly in camp
Hansen and Stewart looking good as are Nickerson and Clark.
Bridgewater struggling with interceptions back to back days.
Darnold up and down as expected, but he has had some nice throws.
Kevin Pierre-Louis looking good.
Connor Hughes and Eric Allen can't tell Hendron and Leggett apart, crediting Hendron for several of Leggetts receptions today

Good for Sheppard. Not good that a first year Division III player is regularly beating our starting right side of the OL.

Very glad to hear about Clark. He can play if he can play (stay healthy). He should be duking it out with Burris for a spot on the roster.

Kevin Pierre Louis may turn out to be a valuable under-the-radar signing.

Haven't heard much about Fatukasi. He's got a lot of guys ahead of him.

Cannon appears to be struggling with punt returns. To be expected.

I don’t read too much into these practices. Like Bowles said, it’s two hand touch. We’ll know a lot more in training camp when the players start flying around, hitting each other more. Especially Bridgewater. That’s when things will start getting real.

I know we aren't supposed to be talking about #14, but from all reports he sure looks the part of future FQB.

Agreed, but it's still good to hear that some of the youngsters are showing something. Now that may not translate to the season but I would be surprised if, for example, Hanson doesn't have a much better season. It's good to see how much work he seems to have put in to improve. It's also fun to read about Jamal Adams. I've said this before and I still think he can be the LT of this young defense.

Darryl Slater from the Star Ledger was posting videos of Darnold’s performance throughout the practices. Again, it’s non-contact drills, but I love Darnold’s arm. He made some pretty throws over the last few days. A few long passes were right on the money, in stride with the receiver. He looks legit.

It's hard not to be excited about this guy.

We have been QB starved for such a long time that everyone including players, coaches and scribes are all raving about him. Fingers are crossed, but he looks like the real deal. If so, big time game changer for this franchise.

Looking back, I was in the Rosen camp because I just didn’t see any scenario in which the Browns and Giants both passed on Darnold. I couldn’t wrap my head around that possibility. I was willing to accept Rosen’s edgy personality and slim frame even with the risks associated.

But with Darnold, you really do have the complete package. A good kid who loves football and doesn’t appear to be a party guy, and has all the physical tools to be a franchise QB.

I think we may have won the lottery. I am so fired up to watch this guy lead our team for the next 15 years. I’m 100% confident in saying that.

I was on the Rosen train too... But I overlooked his "flaws" because I wanted a FQB ... hopefully SD14 gets the Jets a couple, if not more, of Lombardi Trophies
