New Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a huge fan of "The Office," and one of the cast members is now a big fan of him. Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on the show, welcomed Darnold to his new home in a social media post on Friday.

The Vikings decided to let Darnold’s contract expire and roll in 2025 and beyond with J.J. McCarthy, their 10th pick in last year’s draft. His season-ending knee injury last summer is why Darnold started last season.

Darnold has a strong arm and the confidence to fit throws into tight windows. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell harnessed Darnold's aggressiveness, and the Seahawks hope to do the same.
