Sam Darnold: The Quarterback Who Might Just Be the "Ghostbuster" of the NFL When you hear the name Sam Darnold, the first thing that might pop into your head is not his impressive arm strength or the endless potential he has. No, it might just be the infamous moment when he famously said, “I’m seeing ghosts” on the field. Yes, Sam Darnold is a quarterback with a sense of humor—and occasionally, a few invisible defenders chasing him down. But beyond the ghosts and spooky moments, there’s a real quarterback trying to make his mark on the NFL. Early Days: The Promise That Followed Him Sam was drafted by the New York Jets in 2018, where expectations were as high as the Empire State Building. Fans hoped he would be the one to turn around the franchise. His college days at USC were full of promise, where he dazzled everyone with his arm and his ability to make big throws. It was clear that Sam had talent, but the transition to the NFL can be as tricky as trying to find a needle in a haystack.
