Sam Darnold’s career path is one out of a Disney movie. He went from being a highly touted, early drafted quarterback who was initially labeled a bust to a journeyman who suited up for five teams over six seasons to a Super Bowl-winning QB.
Others have had somewhat similar routes—like Baker Mayfield and Geno Smith, who each didn’t find their footing until landing on their fourth NFL teams, only to then become multi-time Pro Bowlers with those franchises. But no one has reached the highest of highs quite like Darnold, the former No. 3 overall pick in 2018.
