Sam Darnold shines in Seattle Seahawks preseason debut, leading flawless TD drive vs. Kansas City Chiefs in a Friday night victory.

"Led by second-year star quarterback LaNorris Sellers, along with a top-five defense, the Seahawks will reach the Super Bowl ... but will lose," Walder wrote. "The days of [Geno] Smith and Darnold will be ancient history by 2027."

One of the Seattle Seahawks' draft picks left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an unknown injury on Friday.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was pleased with his team's performance in Friday night's win over the Chiefs, at least on one side of the ball.

Elijah Arroyo has a chance to be very good in the NFL. He also has a chance to prove his talent right away. The Seattle Seahawks need a leader in their tight end rotation, and Arroyo might already be that guy as a rookie. His most recent public action came Friday night, when he caught two passes for 19 yards in the Seahawks' second preseason game.

With Steven Sims sidelined, Seattle’s two starting kickoff returners Friday night were second-year running back George Holani and fourth-year receiver Dareke Young.
