Sam Darnold Draft
He was selected 3rd overall in the 2017 draft by the New York Jets and before the draft, Darnold was the heavy favorite to be taken first overall by the Browns who went 0-16 from the previous season. But, before the draft, all tides shifted, and it seemed the Browns were set on drafting Heisman winner Baker Mayfield, who they ended up taking. This meant that the following team in need of a QB (the New York Jets) would take Danrold with their first overall selection.

Sam Darnold Post-Jets
After his time in New York, Darnold bounced around from teams like the Panthers and 49ers but never really took over the starting role quite like he had in New York. This wasn’t until he was traded to the Vikings. The Viking’s first pick JJ McCarthy, Michigan Quarterback and national championship winner was supposed to be the team’s number 1 guy, but after a season-ending injury during OTA’s, Darnold got his chance to be the starting quarterback, for the first time since the Jets in 2020.

Sam Darnold Today
Many were skeptical, But Darnold has shined through his first five weeks, leading the NFL in touchdowns (11) and leading the NFL in wins starting the year 5-0, the first time the Vikings have started this strong hasn’t been since the 2016 season. Against his former team in Week 5, Darnold had his worst game of the season, throwing for one interception and ending the game with zero passing or running touchdowns. But even though he may not have had his best performance, he was still able to come out with the win against the Jets.

https://www.newyorkjets.com/news/jets-vikings-game-recap-london-aaron-rodgers-week-5-2024
Fan reaction
One Vikings fan who reacted to the game said on his channel that, “Sam Darnold did JUST ENOUGH for the Minnesota Vikings to beat the New York Jets.” It seems fans have come to enjoy watching Darnold play, but as we know, opinions on athletes, and especially Quarterbacks, can change very quickly.

Dechambeau LIV Career
In June of 2022, Bryon Dechambeau, along with many other former PGA Tour golfers, decided to join LIV Golf. Since making the switch, Dechambeau has played in 36 events, cutting 33 of the possible 36 times. In his 2 years as a LIV golfer, Bryson has won 2 events, LIV Golf Greenbrier in August of 2023, and LIV Golf Chicago, in September of 2023. Instead of making money from events, like the format of the PGA Tour, Bryson Dechambeau has a contract with LIV, estimating a value of at least $125 Million, a major reason why the star, and many others, left the PGA in the first place.

LIV Golf Controversy
The emergence of LIV Golf has sparked significant controversy, primarily due to its ties to Saudi Arabia and allegations of "sportswashing," where nations use sports to improve their global image while diverting attention from human rights abuses. Funded by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf offers lucrative contracts that attract top players, challenging traditional golf structures like the PGA Tour. For players, this means the potential for unprecedented earnings and fewer tournaments, providing a more flexible schedule. However, many players have faced backlash for aligning with a regime criticized for its human rights record.

Future of Professional Golf
The future of professional golf is increasingly shaped by the ongoing rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, with players like Bryson DeChambeau at the forefront. The controversy surrounding LIV Golf, backed by substantial funding, has sparked debates over player loyalty, competition, and the evolution of the sport. As traditionalists and innovators clash, golf may look different in the years to come, balancing the rich heritage of the PGA with new opportunities for players seeking financial incentives and a more modern style of golf in LIV.
Dylan Edwards Bio
Dylan Edwards was born in Derby Kansas in 2004 and is 20 years old. He has played football since childhood and even played running back for his team as a kid.
Dylan Edwards childhood
Dylan Edwards was a star for his childhood team when he was just 10 years old. Not only was he one of the best players on his team but his Quarterback was Avery Johnson, Kansas State's current quarterback. So Edwards has been taking handoffs from his current QB for as long as he can remember.
Dylan Edwards Highschool

Media Reaction
The media stated how the Buffs just came up short against ranked Kansas State almost completing the upset. Many believe that the reason the buffs lost in the end was because of losing Travis Hunter late in the 2nd quarter due to a hand injury. He was sidelined for the rest of the game which was a huge blow to the offense and defense since Hunter starts on both sides of the ball. The media thinks the Buffs have to be perfect to make the playoffs or even a bowl game if it is still in the cards.
Coach Prime reaction
Coach Prime was not happy with the outcome of the game. He stated that this game was a wake-up call for the team and that if they want the opportunity to play at the end of the season they have to step it up now.
