Sam Darnold's NFL Top 100 Reveal Draws Strong Criticism
Many fans were critical of where Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold ranked on the NFL Top 100 Players list.
The NFL announced its top 100 players on Friday, with Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Sam Darnold receiving the No. 21 ranking. The announcement featured a highlight video of his performance, with teammates and opponents providing insights into what makes him an exceptional player. Darnold's ranking has sparked criticism in the online community, with many fans arguing that his position on the list is too high.
Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. praised Darnold's resilience and accuracy, stating that he can make accurate throws even when facing pressure. Seahawks receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed were among the players who benefitted from Darnold's skill during last season's playoff push, which culminated in a Super Bowl victory.
Despite his impressive stats, such as 4,048 passing yards and a 67.7% completion rate, Darnold did not win the NFL Most Valuable Player Award, which was awarded to rival quarterback Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams.
