To say that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold's career got off to a rocky start would be a massive understatement. He entered the league as the No. 3 pick in a 2018 NFL Draft class that was stacked with potential stars at the most important position in team sports.
Darnold took the reins of the New York Jets, going 4-9 and throwing 15 picks under Todd Bowles' tutelage. Then, things didn't get much better in two years with Adam Gase at the helm, to the point where the Jets gave up on him and shipped him to the Carolina Panthers for a 2021 sixth-round pick and second- and fourth-round picks in 2022.
