According to the official XFL Twitter/X account, the Minnesota Vikings have signed D.C. Defender and 2023 XFL Offensive Player of the Year Jordan Ta’amu to a contract.
In the XFL last season, Ta’amu led the Defenders to a 9-1 record and an appearance in the 2023 XFL Championship Game. An alumnus of Ole Miss, Ta’Amu threw for 1,894 passing yards and 14 touchdowns on 62.4% completions and 298 rushing yards en route to saind 9-1 record.
Ta’amu has become a spring league veteran having played for the XFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks in 2020 and the USFL’s Tampa Bay Bandits in 2022.
Ta’amu is the third offensive player the Vikings have signed, joining running back Abram Smith and wide receiver Lucky Jackson.
This is likely a week three camp arm signing, but Ta’amu does have an intriguing skill set.
