Sam Darnold is impressing early on with the Vikings after joining the team in March
New Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is reportedly leaving quite the impression early on in his tenure in Minnesota.
Darnold, 26, joined the Vikings this offseason after Kirk Cousins left for the Falcons. The former third overall pick is now on his fourth team since entering the league in 2018. Stints with the Jets and Panthers both ended in failure while a season as the backup in San Francisco in 2023 seems to have rejuvenated his career.
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has refused to say when McCarthy could take over, choosing instead to remain patient with the 21-year-old's development. The patience the team is leaning into with McCarthy likely means Darnold has a good shot of being the starting QB Week 1 against the Giants."They definitely have similar velocity on the ball. Darnold is more refined with his throwing. There’s more touch on the ball and it comes out pretty effortlessly.
