Jets already linked to multiple QBs ahead of Week 1, including Miami star image
With college football back, there are many quarterbacks who will be under more of a spotlight than others.
One of them is Darian Mensah, the University of Miami quarterback who put up 253 passing yards and three touchdowns in his first half with the Hurricanes.
Miami, expected to be one of the best teams in America, could help Mensah and his draft stock. It remains uncertain how some teams in the NFL view him right now, but others believe he has a real chance to help some organizations.
Recently, speaking about some teams that could be a possibility for Mensah, Kirk Herbstreit brought up the New York Jets as a potential option.
“I think Darren Mensah could be a quarterback at Miami that could have a great year,” Herbstreit told Heavy Sports of possible Jets QBs. “You know Sam Leavitt because of his skill set and with the way the NFL continues to put a premium on guys that don’t just throw well from the pocket, but the ability to create, which I think he has that ability to do. Julian Sayin at Ohio State is a highly touted guy. Dante Moore out of Oregon.”
Out of all these guys listed, I think Mensah and Dante Moore would be at the top of that list.
Moore, who some suggested the Jets could have drafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, ended up going back to the University of Oregon. Mensah transferred from Duke, while Julian Sayin out of Ohio State is elite, and Sam Leavitt is currently at LSU.
