The fact that he was a walk-on two different schools and rose quickly to be the starting QB is encouraging. That doesn't happen just because of your personality. There has to be some serious underlying talent there that your new teammates and coaches notice. I wanted Darnold, but the truth is that all of our views here are shaped largely by what we read, written by pundits who aren't good enough to get NFL jobs. Even if you watch a lot of games, you're not going to have the insight the GM's get from the interviews, background, white board work, etc..
So, I'm going to watch this kid play before making up my mind as to whether or not he was the right pick.
