Former Southern California quarterback Sam Darnold is working out with Allen and Palmer in Darnold’s hometown of San Clemente, or as Allen calls it “Sam Clemente”. These factors are among the reasons the quarterback has polarized opinion so much. “If you knew who I was three years ago, I don’t think you would say this is possible”.

On being willing to initially play a backup role: “First things first, whatever team I go to, I’m not going to settle for a backup job, I’ve never been like that and I never will”.
“I think, if I was a kid, I would love this”. You have to own your mistakes. “Why wouldn’t I want to show what I can do?” That’s something I’ve really been working on. “They’re close, they’re very close, they’ve got the right pieces they just need that one guy and quarterback make the difference”. “And also keeping it tight whenever I tuck it and run”. ‘All humans have it in them whether you think it or not. He did little to persuade anyone otherwise Friday, but claimed it’s not cockiness.
“I think if anyone is going to turn that franchise around, it would be me”, Mayfield said when asked about going to the Cleveland Browns, who have No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks in April.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield who made the first move behind the mic. “If you’re not improving it and pushing those guys around you to be better, then you’re not doing it right”.
Mark Andrews, TE, on Mayfield’s reality vs. perception: “I will say this: there’s two people that come to mind as the best teammates I have ever had”. This will all make the next several weeks ahead of the draft for Allen to demonstrate that he is a promising quarterback that is worthy of being one of the top selections. Previously, a UNC had been assigned to each sideline on game day to work with each team’s medical staff to implement the concussion protocol. “Throughout the process I’m just going to continue to be myself and if a team happens to fall in love me with me and take me No. 1, or they take me wherever in the draft, I’d be happy to go anywhere”. A lot of times you get tied up in the emotions of the situation and where he is. “I’m sorry about that, but I don’t read anything you guys put out”. The good news for Broncos Country is, if the Broncos don’t find their guy in free agency, they’ll have plenty to choose from in the draft. Maybe it’s Case Keenum.

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock was hard on Darnold, however, for the decision to skip the spins. The only time I let go of the ball is to throw it. When I talk about planting the flag at Ohio State, I tell them a true story, about the fact that was an emotional win, that was one we worked for over a year for after they embarrassed us in our home stadium.
