Having ditched Gang Green for Carolina blue, Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold took a moment to reflect on his offseason journey in his first statements as a member of the NFC South.
Darnold arrives in Charlotte after three seasons as the New York Jets’ franchise man, coming through in a trade for a trio of draft picks last week. Per Carolina team reporter Darin Gantt, Darnold felt both “relief and excitement” upon learning of the fateful deal.
“There’s been so much uncertainty this offseason, not knowing what your future was going to look like, that was hard,” Darnold said.
