Sam Darnold’s return to being a full-time starting NFL quarterback took three years, but he made the most of his one season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 en route to becoming the Seattle Seahawks’ new signal-caller this offseason. Darnold, who was labeled a bust after fizzling out with the New York Jets, revived his career and now he’s being recognized by his peers around the league. It’s that time of year when the NFL Top 100 list drops, and Darnold landed at No. 72 after his stellar bounce-back season — the first time he’s made the list in his seven-year career.
