Darnold's debut impresses Jets' CEO

Buffalo Bills: On Wednesday, coach Sean McDermott turned to 21-year-old Josh Allen -- taken by the Bills with the No. 7 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft -- to be their starting quarterback. He's a rarity on the roster. According to the Buffalo News, the Bills have the lowest number of players they drafted or signed out of college on their roster: 19 of 53. They also are the seventh-oldest team in the league, with an average age of 26.47. Buffalo is moving in the right direction, though. To start the season last year, the Bills had the second-oldest roster in the league. Cincinnati has the most homegrown players on its roster with 46. Cleveland is the youngest team with an average age of 25.19.

Miami Dolphins: Jakeem Grant ran back a kickoff for an impressive 102 yards on Sunday and was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, but he wasn't all that impressed. His said he can perform better. "I wasn't even running full speed," Grant said. "I was actually three-quarters speed, and when I looked up at the speed meter, and it said 20.9 (mph), I was hurt. That's slow, man. ... I didn't have to do anything. I didn't get touched and I didn't have to run for my life. Because (of the blocking), I could just use 75 percent to run past those guys." Grant also had five receptions for 38 yards in the game.

New England Patriots: Not even opinionated Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey can get notoriously tight-lipped Patriots coach Bill Belichick to say much. Ramsey has spoken ill recently of some of the best players in the NFL, including New England tight end Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots travel to Jacksonville on Sunday. "We know when the game starts," Belichick said. "I'm sure they'll be ready to go, too. We'll see what happens. Right now, we're focused on our preparation for the game. We have a lot of respect for coach (Doug) Marrone, their coaching staff, their players, their team. Hopefully, we'll be ready to go."

New York Jets: A big road win and a stellar debut from a rookie quarterback has left the CEO of the Jets excited for the rest of the season. After the Jets beat Detroit 48-17 in the season opener behind QB Sam Darnold, Christopher Johnson said he's trying not to dream too big. "I've been working since then to keep my enthusiasm level ice, man," he said of the Monday night victory. "It was a great game, but it was one game. Trying to keep that in mind." And his thoughts on Darnold? "He's wise beyond his years. Certainly, his decision making at this point has indicated so. He's very steady. I'm really impressed with the way he has handled himself. This is a tough town. A lot of good and bad will be thrown his way. I think he's unique in his ability to handle the pressures of New York."
