Episode Details

Sam Darnold, now a Super Bowl champ with the Seahawks, calls his 2023 stint as a backup with the 49ers his “PhD in football” — a year spent soaking up Kyle Shanahan’s system and learning from Brock Purdy’s razor-sharp preparation. Darnold credits Purdy’s efficiency for reshaping his own approach, showing him that focused study beats hours spent in the film room. That experience, though behind the scenes, was pivotal — fueling his success with the Vikings and Seahawks, culminating in a championship run in 2025.
