Sam Darnold's first season with the Seahawks has gone incredibly well as after Sunday's win over the Panthers he has his new team sitting at 13-3 heading into a showdown with the 49ers on Saturday night that will determine the winner of the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
Darnold signed with the Seahawks as a free agent last March via a three-year, $100.5 million deal. The No. 3 pick in the 2018 NFL draft had a career year with the Vikings last season but Minnesota opted to go with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, allowing Darnold to find a new home.
