Sam Darnold is a young mint of $ 100 million after signing with Seattle Seyhox-and he has his girlfriend, Katie’s main nightsNext to him, for the ride.
27-year-old Darnold signed a three-year $ 100.5 million contract with Seahawks on March 10 after the defender spent last season with the Minnesota Vikings.
In an exclusive interview with US WeeklyDarnold threw himself at how Hoofnagle – who played club football at the University of South Carolina – is a stabilizing force during the maximum and low levels of the NFL season.
“Support (from) my girlfriend is incredible,” Darnold told us in Rx3 2025 Football Tournament for Charity at SaddleBack College at Mission Viejo, California on Saturday, March 15th. “You know, she just understands it.
NFL’s awards in 2025 were an affair with several athletes who came out with their significant others. This year’s event, hosting the Saerger Theater in New Orleans on Thursday, February 6, allowed the newly engaged couple Haili Steinfeld and Josh Allen to debut on the red carpet – and was just as glamorous (…)
However, Darnold jokes that Hoofnagle – who has been dating Darnold since 2023 – also helps him get him out of the house when the football calendar is not so fast.
“Maybe not so much in the out -of -season period,” he noted. “If she wants to go somewhere and I just want to cool, she’s like, ‘Let’s go out to dinner.
Darnold added: She was always my biggest adherent.
While Darnold is preparing to play for his fifth NFL team for six years – after previous stay with New York Jets, Carolina Pantheri and San Francisco 49ers – the third common choice in the NFL draft for 2018 explained how the human aspect of life in the league is sometimes lost.
“We have life, we have families, we have everything like everyone else,” Darnold said. “Every time we are on a one -year deal, like, yes, that’s great. I understand that the NFL game is great and I love every second of it. But when you have those annual deals that many guys in NFL are included, you are always in the back of your head, thinking, “Okay, where will I play after that?”
Darnold said that the process of packaging and departing a new team every year is even more on players who have families to consider.
“I don’t even have my children, but I know many guys who have their children,” he noted. “So when you look at this to try to move and find your path in all these cities, this can be difficult.”
With his confirmed new destination, Darnold said he was “very excited” to reach Seattle, where he would take over the defender’s initial work from SmithWho was traded on Raiders in Las Vegas on March 7th.
“I am the moment I just want to get there,” Darnold told us. “I want to get there for OTA (organized team activities) and spend a bunch of time with my coaches and my teammates.”
Seahawks is expected to open OTA in late May or early June.
Darnold play in the charity flag football game to take advantage NEGU – Jesse Rees FoundationHe who raises money to help children fight cancer in childhood.
“They just spread the joy around, trying to deliver a little joy to these children in their lives,” Darnold told the organization. “It’s just great to see all these charity organizations, all the hard work, philanthropic things they all do here.”
