Darnold leads NFL in spin rate (639 rpm) with elite training camp performance and consistency praise.

Quarterback Sam Darnold has been throwing 'DIMES' throughout training camp, with his standout performance largely attributed to his spin rate of 639 revolutions per minute, which leads all NFL quarterbacks. Darnold describes himself as a 'spin rate geek,' tracing the habit to childhood when he would lay on his bed and throw the ball. Tight end Eric Saubert praised his consistency, saying 'He's so f—king consistent,' and any concern about a Super Bowl hangover appears unfounded as Darnold picks up right where he left off.
