The Minnesota Vikings faced a significant decision last offseason, opting to start first-round pick quarterback JJ McCarthy over veteran Sam Darnold, who subsequently led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory. Darnold acknowledged the Vikings’ choice as a sound business move, supporting McCarthy’s potential despite the emotional impact of the decision. He noted that he had impressive stats during his time with the Vikings, yet he seems to harbor no resentment towards the team. As he prepares for the 2026 season, Darnold is focused on defending his Super Bowl title.
