Sam Darnold has message for Jets fans after winning Super Bowl 2026 with Seahawks
NY Post
Sam Darnold took a moment to thank the Jets fans who have continued to support him after his career got off to an up-and-down start before he became a Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks on Sunday.
The quarterback worked a “shift” at Raising Cane’s in Seattle on Tuesday as part of his post-championship tour and was asked if he had a message for the Jets fans who cheered him during Seattle’s 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Big Game.
“The biggest thing is that’s all you can ask for as a player, is to feel supported, especially by the team that drafted me,” Darnold told reporters in Seattle while sitting at a booth in the chicken joint. “I always look at myself and feel like I could have done a lot more for that franchise when I was there. The fact that they’re able to support me even through that means a lot.”
Darnold was taken third overall in the 2018 NFL Draft and played three uneven seasons in the Big Apple before he was traded to the Panthers in 2021.
The 28-year-old’s turnaround began in earnest after spending the 2023 season as a 49ers backup before having back-to-back successful seasons with the Vikings and Seahawks, culminating in the Super Bowl 2026 win.
Over the past two seasons, Darnold has posted a 28-6 record during the regular season. This year, he threw for 4,048 yards and 25 touchdowns.
