EAGAN, Minn. -- Sam Darnold will continue as the Minnesota Vikings lead quarterback when training camp opens next month, coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday as the team wrapped up its final OTA of the spring. O'Connell stopped short of projecting anything beyond that, saying he plans for a "competitive" training camp at many positions. The Vikings have three other quarterbacks on their roster, including rookie J.J. McCarthy as well as veterans Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall.
"We haven't had to put out a depth chart or anything like that," O'Connell said, "but yeah, I would say Sam would be the guy I would look to based upon the spring he's had, and really where he's at in his career and his quarterback journey, and what he's been able to do coming in and [hitting] the ground running and taking advantage of a competitive situation.
