"As a young player you can definitely get excited about what the future might hold or what things might look like, but at the end of the day you've got to be where your feet are. This sport, this position, it's hard enough as it is. If you start worrying about the wrong things, it'll come back to bite you."
"Darnold, in his first year with Minnesota after backing up Brock Purdy for the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers last season, was the third overall pick by the New York Jets out of Southern California in 2018."
"Though he has found first-string status again with the Vikings, Darnold was clearly signed (for one year and $10 million) to be a temporary bridge from the departed Kirk Cousins to the rookie J.J. McCarthy."
"In what could well be their last chance to convince the league they can still be capable starters for years to come, Darnold and Jones will lead their teams into the same season opener."
