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.

Once the Seattle Seahawks traded quarterback Geno Smith, Sam Darnold saw his opening. The Seahawks introduced Darnold on Thursday after he signed a three-year deal he agreed to earlier in the week. The contract is worth $100.

The Seahawks are betting that Sam Darnold can exceed what he was in Minnesota. But it takes more than a QB to lift a trophy as blue and green confetti falls.
