Darnold basks in 'special journey' to Super Bowl glory

Asked where he had found the belief to prosper on the NFL's biggest stage after being traded between five teams over eight years, Darnold responded: "It's easy. My teammates and my coaches." "They believed in me ever since the beginning of training camp. That was our mindset every single day we came to work," said the 28-year-old, of his triumphant debut year in Seattle. As green confetti fell across the Levi's Stadium, in Darnold's home state of California, the imposing 6ft 3in tall quarterback grew reflective.
