Sam Darnold's rare redemption becomes one of the stories of Super Bowl LX [View all]
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Drake Maye hasn’t lived Sam Darnold’s journey. They were both third overall picks in their respective NFL Drafts. Maye went from promising rookie season to stardom in year two. Darnold was already on his way to being labeled a bust by the end of his second season.
Even though Maye doesn’t personally know what Darnold went through to reach Super Bowl LX, he has respect for the path the Seattle Seahawks quarterback took to get there.
“What a journey,” Maye said at Super Bowl Opening Night. “Obviously he got in a scenario where [the Jets] decided to move on, and from there on, he has battled not playing for years, being the backup, getting his chance and making the most of it. It’s been awesome to see.
“Such a great story. It’s what makes the league so special is stories like Sam that puts his head down, works hard and has turned into one of the best quarterbacks in the league.”
