Vikings GM Rick Spielman’s reported scouting travels have a common theme: the visits often involve quarterback prospects.
Spielman went to Syracuse to watch Liberty QB Malik Willis against the Orange in September and traveled to Nevada to watch QB Carson Strong vs. UNLV. On Thursday, he added two more to the list: North Carolina’s Sam Howell and Pitt’s Kenny Pickett.
These four QB’s will at least be in the discussion for QB1 in the 2022 NFL Draft. But which ones will truly end up worthy of a first-round selection?
In the offseason, I will be writing up full profiles of the top players the Vikings should target. For today, let’s take a brief look at Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett and North Carolina’s Sam Howell.
