in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, but that doesn't mean a former teammate isn't going to send some shade in his direction., in Week 2.

"I think I win that for sure. I believe I win. Because me and Sam, we have this connection," Lenoir said. "This connection where he like to throw the ball to me. So this week I'm coming, he know it."Lenoir did praise Darnold just after those comments though. He said, "I know he's a talented player. He's gonna come ready to work. I know how he prepares. You know, he gave us great looks, you know, when he played here with us.
