QB Sam Darnold has a chance to repeat as Super Bowl champ.

Quarterback who has a chance to join the list of QBs to get to two Super Bowls in a row and repeat as champion; described as a backup just three years ago who might never have become a full-time starter again after flaming out in Carolina, making his potential success one of the biggest questions and storylines of the Seahawks' 2026 season, though the source notes there is no reason to say he can't after last season's performance.
