The 2024 NFL season was a dream campaign for Sam Darnold. Thrust into the starting quarterback role with the Minnesota Vikings after an injury to first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, Darnold led the Vikings to a 14-3 record and a berth in the playoffs. At the helm of Kevin O’Connell’s offense, Darnold set career-high numbers in completion percentage, passing yards, QBR, Adjusted Yards per Attempt, and touchdown passes. He also secured his first Pro Bowl selection.
While he may have found a new home for 2025, this season is off to a strong start as well.
