Not even the Carolina Panthers saw this coming.
Since joining the team this offseason as a reclamation project, quarterback Sam Darnold washed off the stench of the New York Jets with a 3-0 start and the best passer rating of his career (99.0) through three games.
He's also developed into an elite runner?
The former No. 3 overall pick got the Panthers on the board Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys with a 2-yard scamper on an option play.
Carolina's next score? Another Darnold run on a designed keeper from the Cowboys' 11-yard line.
