Sam Darnold: NFL's Newest Viking
A New Beginning for the Young Quarterback
Former Carolina Panther Embarks on a New Chapter in Minnesota
In a thrilling twist of events, the Minnesota Vikings have acquired quarterback Sam Darnold from the Carolina Panthers in a one-year deal. The former first-round pick joins the Vikings after an up-and-down start to his NFL career. As the Vikings prepare for the upcoming season, Darnold's addition brings both excitement and anticipation to the team. Born in June 1997, Darnold made a name for himself as a standout quarterback at the University of Southern California. His impressive college career led to him being selected third overall by the New York Jets in the 2018 NFL Draft. However, his time with the Jets was marked by inconsistency and injuries. Darnold struggled to find his footing in New York and was ultimately traded to the Panthers in 2021.
