Top draft picks Sam Darnold (No. 3 pick) and Josh Rosen (No. 10) will debut in the NFL tonight for the Jets and Cardinals, but last night three other top draft picks hit the field for their first taste of action in the pros: Baker Mayfield (No. 1 ), Saquon Barkley (No. 2), and Josh Allen (No. 7).
By most accounts, all three players fared fairly well and all of them showed off some of the skills the teams that drafted them, the Browns, Giants, and Bills, respectively, were targeting.
That said, a picture, especially a moving one, is worth a thousand words. Let’s check ‘em out:

Eli Manning said of @Saquon’s run: “It was just a run, let’s not go berserk yet, all right?” Saquon’s reply (with an interjection by @NYPost_Serby): pic.twitter.com/512kbfdx1w

Josh Allen had a 4th and 3 and decided to run backwards like he was playing Madden online https://t.co/5JOWplVF2m
