The New York Jets have had a busy offseason, making high-profile signings like running back Le'Veon Bell and linebacker C.J. Mosley and making other big additions like wide receiver Jamison Crowder and offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele.

But even with all of the improvements the Jets have made, not many people think they can dethrone the New England Patriots in the AFC East, which is certainly understandable given the Patriots' dominance over the division for the last decade-and-a-half.

However, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold thinks New York actually has a chance of winning the division.

“Yeah, it’s absolutely realistic,” Darnold said of the Jets' chances, according to Steve Serby of The New York Post. “Talent-wise, everyone in the NFL is capable of winning, it’s just about building that culture, and really understanding that every single down, every single possession matters. If we can kind of ingrain that mentality into everyone in the locker room and everyone in the building, then I think a culture will be set and we’ll be better off.”

Darnold is coming off of a rookie campaign in which he made 13 starts and threw for 2,865 yards, 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions while completing 57.7 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 77.6.
