"It's unbelievable. Just everything that's happened in my career, but to do it with this team, I wouldn't want it any other way, said Darnold, who completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. I'm so proud of our guys. Our defense, I mean I can't say enough good things about our defense, our special teams. I know we won the Super Bowl, but we could've been a little better on offense,"
"Darnold's ultimate victory came after being lost in the NFL wilderness. The Jets traded the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 draft three years later to Carolina for a second-rounder and a pair of sixth-rounders. He landed with the 49ers and Vikings each for a year before signing a three-year deal with the Seahawks last spring. The last Super Bowl among the four teams that let Darnold go was the 49ers' title following the 1994 season."
Sam Darnold rose from a backup quarterback role to Super Bowl champion as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29-13. Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown and praised the defense and special teams. He previously backed up Brock Purdy with the 49ers and watched Purdy lead that team to the Super Bowl. The Jets drafted Darnold third overall in 2018 before trading him; he had stints with Carolina, San Francisco and Minnesota prior to signing a three-year deal with Seattle. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald lauded Darnold's play and leadership.
