From the time Jake Browning's father, Ed, had his 10-year-old son do some extra cleaning around the house to cover the $50 fee for a weekend of quarterback training, Browning's life has revolved around football.
Not much has changed 15 years later. And even though it would have been impossible to prepare for three Vikings quarterbacks being quarantined overnight by COVID-19 protocols, Browning was ready to make nearly every throw in four straight Vikings practices because, as he says, football, family and friends are all that consume his time.
"I do need to find some hobbies," Browning said after Wednesday's practice.
