The Minnesota Vikings are being careful not to tip their hand on the exact QB they’re targeting in the NFL draft, but context clues rolling in indicate one player is the clear favorite.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell spoke with media members on Tuesday, March 26 at the NFL Owners’ Meeting in Orlando and described the team’s ideal quarterback prospect.
I think a quarterback in the NFL will always need to be accurate, first and foremost. In most NFL offenses, you have to have a certain level of smarts and football intelligence.
I think there’s a level of toughness that goes into playing the quarterback position — mentally and physically tough. Guys that can really overcome some real adversity, both during a drive, during a play, during a season [when] you hit a rough patch. And then, in 2024, you talk about the ability to maybe have some athletic traits to impact the game.
Maybe the leadership traits in the locker room. It’s a unique place, it’s somewhere that we feel very strongly about — our locker room in Minnesota. We want to make sure whatever quarterback we’re adding to this team has some real traits to only take that and make it better.
