The Minnesota Vikings are bringing in a quarterback for a workout. According to The Score’s Jordan Schultz, the Minnesota Vikings are bringing in XFL quarterback Jordan Ta’amu for a workout. Last season, he was the starting quarterback for the D.C. Defenders and won XFL player of the year honors.
Going into mandatory minicamp, the Vikings currently have three quarterbacks on the roster in Kirk Cousins, Nick Mullens and fifth-round pick Jaren Hall. When training camp hits, it’s a good thing to have a fourth quarterback around during practices. It will allow receivers to get extra reps which helps the coaching staff make tough decisions.
Ta’amu had a really solid season for the XFL runner-up Defenders. Going 9-1 in the regular season, Ta’amu completed 62.6% of his passes for 1,878 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions along with 301 yards and three touchdowns on 67 carries.
In his professional career, Ta’amu has spent time with the AAF, USFL and XFL while also spending some time with the Kansas City Chiefs.
