After a COVID outbreak on Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings were left without three QBs, including Kirk Cousins and Kellen Mond. To avoid another situation where only Jake Browning takes snaps, the team added another QB to the roster in Danny Etling. He was added through waivers after the Seattle Seahawks released him on Monday.
Etling is yet another connection between LSU and the Vikings. He began his collegiate career at Purdue before transferring. He played two seasons for the Tigers and helped lead them to bowl games in both years, including a Citrus Bowl in 2017.
Following college, Etling entered the 2018 NFL Draft and was picked in the seventh round by the New England Patriots.
