NY Jets Sam Darnold Surprises Fans at Goryeb Children's Hospital

Young Fans At Atlantic Health System's Goryeb Children's Hospital Receive Surprise Visit From New York Jets First Round Draft Pick

Atlantic Health System’s Goryeb Children’s Hospital had a special guest stop-by on day three of the NFL draft. Sam Darnold, the New York Jets first round draft pick, certainly didn't waste a moment in giving back to his new community.

Darnold arrived at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, NJ on Friday and on Saturday, he made his “his first big play” with the team, joining former Jets Legend, Tony Richardson, for a special draft party at Goryeb Children's Hospital. Darnold spent more than an hour visiting with children and their families, signing autographs, taking pictures and making some very special memories with parents and team members.
