The quarterback is the standard-bearer for an NFL franchise. So, when the Minnesota Vikings were rumored on Sunday to be in the market for one, interest piqued.
At the team’s nighttime practice this weekend, Minnesota was without three quarterbacks — Kirk Cousins, Kellen Mond, and Nate Stanley due to COVID-related dealings. Jake Browning, who is in the running for QB2, filled in astutely as the only thrower of the football available.
For short-term planning, though, general manager Rick Spielman was allegedly on the horn for another depth quarterback.
A second-year passer from Northern Arizona was the first to enter the rumor mill.
