Recorded: April 4, 2022 | On this Best of the Bus, we’re throwing it back to when Sam Darnold hopped on the bus for a great conversation with The Boys. Sam walks through his football journey from his high school days and recruiting process all the way through his time at USC and into the NFL.
The conversation dives into what it was like being part of that loaded QB class with Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen, and Sam breaks down the famous “seeing ghosts” moment and the real pressure that comes with playing quarterback at the highest level. The guys also get into Jets fan expectations, what it was like sharing a locker room with Cam Newton, and plenty of real locker room stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
If you missed this one the first time around, this is a must listen. And if you already heard it, it’s absolutely worth running back again.
