Darren is a great guy to have leading the team this season. Not only does he produce on the field, but he is a great role model off the field. He is a hard-working guy who never makes excuses and accepts responsibility. The team looks up to him.

Darren is hard-working person on and off the field who had a great career at Princeton. He did very well at the combine and we are excited that he has gotten this opportunity.
