Samuel Richard Darnold (born June 5, 1997) is an American professional football quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the USC Trojans, becoming the first freshman to win the Archie Griffin Award before being selected by the New York Jets third overall in the 2018 NFL draft.
Darnold spent his first three seasons with the Jets. Due to injuries and inconsistent play, he was traded to the Carolina Panthers. He alternated as a starter and backup for two seasons with the Panthers, before spending one season as a backup with the San Francisco 49ers. Darnold had a breakout year in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings when he led them to the playoffs and earned Pro Bowl honors. He joined the Seahawks the following season, leading them to their conference's top seed and an appearance in Super Bowl LX while earning a second Pro Bowl.
