After all the OTAs and the minicamp that ended Thursday, the first true verdict on Sam Darnold is in:

In the eyes of his teammates, a star is being born.

“Man … it’s crazy how talented the kid is,” receiver Charles Johnson told The Post. “When we first started, you could see the talent, but he was struggling just like any young player does. And then each day, each week, you just seen him continue to progress. The last couple of weeks, man, he’s made some throws, made some reads — he’s got it all.

“I’m excited for him, I know he likes to work hard, too. Everything just comes natural to him. Like some throws he just makes are just natural. His command, how he controls everything, comes natural. … Once he learns everything like the back of his hand, sky’s the limit.”

What kind of ball does Darnold throw? “The ball comes out nice … it’s a nice spiral usually all the time, and he throws it hard, he can throw it hard.”

Can he be a star?

“No doubt, no doubt,” Johnson said. “As long as he still had the drive that he has right now to continue to get better. … Sometimes guys who get drafted first round, high picks, sometimes they have egos: ‘I want to be that guy now.’ … As long as he doesn’t have an ego and he continues to work hard and (is) not scared to learn and ask questions (of) some of the guys, I think sky’s the limit.”

Receiver Chad Hansen was a fourth-round draft choice in 2017. “He’s light years ahead of where I thought he would be,” Hansen said. “He’s so far ahead of where I was, it’s crazy.

“He’s gonna be a great player.”

So the Jets are gushing about Darnold the way the Giants are gushing about Saquon Barkley.

“He seems pretty confident and comfortable for a rookie quarterback,” Leonard Williams said.

Darnold, remember, has had to learn how to master the huddle after working from the shotgun at USC.

“When you’re young and you come into a huddle with a lot of older guys it can be intimidating,” guard Brian Winters said, “but he takes control and he does well.”

It is a godsend for Darnold that he can learn from Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater even as he closes the gap on them and reaches for the starting job that is up for grabs.

“I think from Day 1 of OTAs to today, he’s become more confident as he’s come into the huddle,” left tackle Kelvin Beachum said. “You could tell that it was a little different for him, but as he’s gotten more reps as far as just coming in the huddle and commanding the huddle, he’s gotten better with that.”

Darnold fumbled several center exchanges and must continue to be vigilant about holding the ball with two hands to prevent strip-sacks in the pocket.

“You see a lot of flashes, it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s the third overall pick right there,”’ Josh Martin said. “It’s exciting to watch.”

Tight end Jordan Leggett was asked what stands out about Darnold. “Just the way he moves in the pocket when he has pressure …” Leggett said. “And then as well as when he scrambles out of the pocket, he’s always looking downfield for somebody to throw it to, and just when he throws it, how accurate he is.

“We’re sitting there in film watching him, and he’ll make this throw on the sideline and you’re like, ‘Are you all watching this?’ It’s insane.

“He’s gonna be a really good quarterback.”

Darnold is a chill California dude who gets out only once in a while. “Eric Tomlinson had a crawfish broil from Memorial Day, so him and a couple of other rookies came over and we got to hang out for a couple of hours,” Leggett said.

McCown knows a franchise quarterback when he sees one. “He’s just wired right,” McCown said.

Jamal Adams seconds all the Samazing emotions. “He’s outstanding, man,” Adams told The Post. “You can tell that he’s a football junkie, he’s always in the film room, he’s learning each and every day. He’s definitely feeding off Teddy and Uncle Josh. It’s exciting to see those guys compete for the starting job, and it’s gonna be exciting.”

McCown will be the incumbent starter at the start of training camp and Bridgewater will be the No. 2. “We’ll see what happens at the end of training camp,” Todd Bowles said.

Don’t bet against Kid Darnold.
