Sam Darnold ranks 11th in ESPN's top QB survey, just outside top ten

Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks earned the 11th spot in ESPN's annual survey of top quarterbacks, missing the top ten. The survey, which included 70 votes from executives, coaches, and scouts, placed Darnold just outside the cut, with critiques suggesting he deserves a higher ranking. Darnold's recent performances, especially during the past two seasons, have garnered attention as significant improvements following his earlier career struggles. The list included Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes as the top two quarterbacks, while Darnold's honorable mention marks progress compared to previous years when he received no top ten votes.
