About Sam Darnold
So Sam Darnold really turned his career around in 2024, winning Most Improved Player after throwing for over 4,300 yards and 35 touchdowns with Minnesota. The guy went from being written off to leading the Vikings to a 14-3 record, which is why Seattle swooped in to make him their starter. Collectors are finally paying attention to his cards after years of him being overlooked, especially since he proved he can be a legitimate franchise quarterback. Since he doesn't have rookie cards to chase, look for his early Jets cards and any numbered parallels from his breakout season with the Vikings.
The PFWA's Most Improved Player in 2024, Darnold threw for a career-high 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns as the Vikings sailed to a 14-3 record. That caught the attention of the Seahawks, who snagged the veteran signal-caller to lead a revamped passing attack in the Pacific Northwest in 2025.

Darnold joined Seattle in 2025 after a 2024 in which he exceeded both party and late with Minnesota. He started by winning September's NFC Offensive Player of the Month award. Then in Week 14, he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after throwing five TD passes with 347 yards in a 42-21 win over Atlanta.

Dad’s Take on Sam Darnold
Look at this guy standing there like he's posing for his high school yearbook photo! You'd think after winning "Most Improved Player" he could at least look like he knows what to do with that football instead of holding it like it's gonna bite him. And don't get me started on that helmet – looks like someone shrunk a bucket and slapped some logos on it!
