During Sunday night’s game Walker and Darnold delivered performances worthy of the spotlight. Together they helped power Seattle to a decisive victory and cemented their place in Super Bowl history.
Walker and Darnold’s sports-fairytale-come-true continues a tradition that started with New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms in 1987. Simms was the first to deliver the iconic phrase, “I’m going to Disneyland,” blazing a path for many of football’s greatest players to follow.
This is also a “homecoming” moment for Darnold who grew up in San Clemente about 35 miles from Disneyland and played college football at the University of Southern California. So, let’s give a warm West Coast welcome to Kenneth Walker III and Sam Darnold as they arrive at Disneyland Resort.
Stay tuned here for updates on how the magic unfolds during their visit.
