“First of all, I don't know how I didn't get it in high school or college,” he told the ESPN show. “Twenty two years old, that part pissed me off. When all my teammates are like 'Bro, how did you not get it in like high school or college?' Because that's usually when people get it.”
While Darnold said he didn’t know how he got the infection, he assured radio listeners he didn’t know the woman who held up a photo, saying she gave Darnold mono.
“I know there was a sign at the game,” he said. “I've never seen that girl in my life. I just want to set the record straight on that.”
