After his career was practically left in the dust following failed stints with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, quarterback Sam Darnold has reinvented himself throughout the 2024 season with the Minnesota Vikings. His career turnaround reached a new milestone Thursday when he was selected to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games for the first time.
With the guidance and stability of Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell, and a legitimate supporting cast around him, Darnold has emerged as a starting quarterback this season. Darnold has helped the Vikings to a 14-2 record, and a shot at winning both the NFC North and claiming the No. 1 seed. He has set career-highs in nearly every category, completing 68.1% of his passes for 4,153 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
