Brady Cook takes the helm for Jets against Saints
The New York Jets are set to face the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, and the team has revealed its starting quarterback: rookie Brady Cook. At just 24 years old, Cook is stepping into the spotlight after making his NFL debut last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Mixed Debut Performance
Cook’s inaugural start didn’t go as planned, with the Jets suffering a heavy defeat, losing 48-20. Despite the outcome, the rookie showcased glimpses of potential amid the challenges. He completed 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards, connecting for one touchdown while also struggling with three interceptions. In addition to his passing efforts, Cook contributed on the ground, adding 39 rushing yards to his performance.
Coach’s Decision to Stick with Cook
On Wednesday, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that Cook will remain the starting quarterback for the upcoming clash against the Saints. This decision underscores the team’s commitment to developing the rookie, allowing him to gain valuable experience despite the ups and downs that come with being a first-year player in the league.
As the Jets prepare for this critical matchup, all eyes will be on Brady Cook to see if he can turn the tide and lead his team to a much-needed victory.
