He argued that it was lastly time to offer Darnold his flowers, praising the Vikings for bringing one of the best out of a participant who had expertise popping out of USC however had struggled mightily to be at his greatest since he first entered the league.
Not many individuals had the Vikings with an opportunity to win the NFC North and get the No. 1 seed this season, particularly not with Sam Darnold on the helm.
They signed him to a one-year deal, probably to function a backup, and he’s now about to get an enormous payday within the offseason.
