Sam Darnold has been working out with a variety of quarterbacks this offseason, including this year’s Heisman Winner.
According to NBC Sports’ Peter King (via NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah), Darnold was recently joined by LSU’s Joe Burrow for an offseason workout. Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen were also present. The grouped worked out with popular quarterbacks coach Jordan Palmer. Darnold and Josh Allen have worked out with Palmer in the past.
Burrow, who is preparing for the combine this week, is expected to be the first overall pick in this year’s draft by the Bengals, though there’s been some talk of him trying to leverage his way out of Cincinnati. He won the Heisman Trophy and the national championship with LSU this past season.
Regardless of where Burrow ends up, it’s good to see Darnold already linking up with the league’s up and coming players. Darnold himself may only be 22 years old, but his knowledge and experience could prove beneficial for Burrow as he prepares to begin his NFL career.
