Summary

Matthew Coller breaks down the start of the Minnesota Vikings spring program, including OTAs and minicamp, by the biggest storylines.

Tyler says I personally see JJ winning the job is the absolute best case scenario

0:14.2

long term. Jefferson has had nine quarterbacks. Oh, yeah. Well, it, so there's, yeah, I mean, there's part of me that wants to say maybe not,

0:27.4

because if he wins the job, that means something went really wrong with Kyler, probably.

0:33.1

I think the best case scenario is that Kyler is just awesome and you keep him for a while

0:38.2

and then you're trying to win every year and you know who your quarterback is.

and you couldn't really get the offense down and you're erratic and

1:29.3

everything else. And you don't have freakish skill. He is not a freakish runner. He is not a

1:36.6

freakish thrower in any way. He's not exceptionally big. Is the ceiling really higher than it would

1:42.8
