The Minnesota Vikings reportedly believe quarterback Sam Darnold has yet to reach his ceiling at the NFL level.
During an appearance Saturday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler discussed the Vikings' feelings on Darnold and their desire for him to begin the 2024 season as the starter with rookie first-round pick J.J. McCarthy serving as the backup:
"The Vikings believe that there is untapped potential here, that there is a lot of ability. He's never had a supporting cast quite like this. So, they believe he can not only start games, but potentially thrive if everything goes well.
