Kellen Mond led the Aggies to a 9-1 record, a top-5 ranking, and an Orange Bowl victory in the 2020 season, breaking plenty of Texas A&M career records along the way.
He went on to be drafted in the 3rd round by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021, positioning him to be the immediate backup, and potentially the quarterback of the future.
However, his NFL career didn’t get off to the best start, and he seemingly never got on the right foot with the coaching staff.
But the Vikings staff changed over the off-season, and the former Aggie seems to be making the most of his fresh start.
On Mond’s first possession under center to start the second half, he marched the Vikings offense down the field, tossing the team’s first touchdown of the season, as they attempted to come from behind against the Las Vegas Raiders.
