Vikings Sign Next-in-Line QB for 2023

If something happens to Kirk Cousins in 2023 — the man has never missed a game to injury — the Minnesota Vikings have secured the QB2 contingency plan.

He’s Nick Mullens, the team’s QB2 from last year, and he’ll fill the same role in 2023 unless Minnesota drafts a dazzling rookie passer from the 2023 NFL Draft.
