Jake Browning will get his shot in the NFL.
The Washington Huskies’ all-time passing leader has made a verbal agreement to sign with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent, a source with knowledge of the deal told The Seattle Times.
Browning, from Folsom, Calif., broke virtually every major passing record in four seasons as the Huskies’ starting quarterback, finishing his career with 12,296 yards passing and 94 touchdown passes.
Long criticized for his lack of arm strength, Browning this winter turned to throwing specialists in Southern California to overhaul his mechanics. The makeover worked wonders, as he’s added noticeable zip to his fastball while able to thrown an extra 10 yards downfield.
