Vikings lose assistant QB coach Jerrod Johnson to Houston Texans

A member of the Minnesota Vikings’ coaching staff will be taking his talents elsewhere starting with the 2023 season.

Jerrod Johnson, the former Texas A&M star who served as the Vikings’ assistant quarterbacks coach under Kevin O’Connell this season, is being hired to be the quarterback coach for the Houston Texans and new head coach DeMeco Ryans.

The 34-year-old Johnson served as an offensive quality control assistant for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons before joining the Vikings this year. Prior to that, he had a playing career that saw him bounce around several football leagues, including the NFL, the UFL, indoor football leagues, and the CFL.
