Sam Darnold denied a rumor that he might stay at USC for his junior season if the Cleveland Browns end up with the first pick in next year's NFL draft.
"I didn't say anything about the Browns," Darnold told reporters after the Trojans' practice Monday. "I've never said anything bad about (an NFL) team. They know I would never say anything."
Darnold would be one of the top quarterbacks available in the 2018 draft and has been widely projected as a high first-round draft pick.
