Zulgad: Joshua Dobbs joins list of other Vikings who made memorable impressions

Josh Dobbs wasn’t the first new Vikings player to make a massive impression. Judd Zulgad helps us relive four other memorable performances

Joshua Dobbs’ performance in the Minnesota Vikings’ victory Sunday in Atlanta long will be remembered by fans because of its improbability.

Acquired only five days earlier from the Arizona Cardinals, and with no practice reps, the veteran quarterback came on in relief of rookie Jaren Hall in the first quarter and ended up leading a late-game drive that gave Minnesota its fourth consecutive win.

But Dobbs isn’t the first player to seemingly come out of nowhere and leave an impression (some favorable, some not) on Vikings fans.

Here are four others.

27 Days, 27 Picks: QB Josh Freeman

The next player in our 27 Days, 27 Picks series is another quarterback the Bucs took in the first round — one whose career started out promising, but quickly fizzled.

In 27 Days, 27 Picks, Bucs Wire will analyze the last 27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft picks, one for each day leading up to the 2023 NFL draft. We’ll take a look at the player’s college stats, their pre-draft numbers (either via the NFL Combine or their Pro Day), their NFL stats, some player footage and analysis at the end on whether the pick itself was a good one.

Our next player is another first-round quarterback by the Buccaneers. [autotag]Josh Freeman[/autotag]’s career started out promising in Tampa Bay after a good 2010 campaign, but the following years weren’t nearly as kind and forced the Bucs to keep looking for their QB of the future.

4 Bucs QBs with the most interceptions in a single season

Take a look at the four highest interception seasons for Bucs QBs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers welcomed Tom Brady with open arms this offseason, hoping the six-time Super Bowl champion can bring his winning ways to a franchise in desperate need of a savior under center.

The Buccaneers had high hopes entering 2019, but the erratic play of Jameis Winston derailed any chance of making it back to the postseason. Winston became the eighth quarterback in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, but he also became the first player ever to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in the same year.

But, it turns out Winston’s 30 interceptions aren’t even the highest single-season total in Bucs history.

With that, let’s take a look at the four Tampa Bay quarterbacks who hold the highest single-season interception mark in team history.
