Quotes from Sam Darnold

I think the number one job as a quarterback is protecting the football.

Coach Gase has done amazing things, not with just quarterbacks but offenses in general.

For me, and I said this even before the draft, I think being with the same team for my whole career would be something that would be very special to me because, especially at the quarterback position, that means that we won a lot of games, hopefully Super Bowls, 'cause that's the end goal.

Obviously, people say offense wins games, defenses win championships. But I think, at the end of the day, if you score more points than the other team, you're going to win.
