Seattle Seahawks’ Surprising Star: How Sam Darnold Is Quietly Shaking Up the NFL in 2025
Darnold threw 35 touchdowns last year and 12 interceptions, ranked sixth in QB Rating, was tied for the second-most game-winning drives (five), and made his first Pro Bowl. Granted, the offensive line is Seattle’s weakest unit, the Vikings have better wide receivers, and the Seahawks traded WR D.K. Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason.ÂÂ
Yet, Metcalf is not worth the five-year, $150 million extension he signed with Pittsburgh. He’s only made two Pro Bowls in six NFL seasons and routinely commits stupid personal fouls. Plus, Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a baller, and maybe WR Cooper Kupp has a throwback year if he stays healthy. Either way, they have one of the best backfields in the NFL with RBs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
