With the loss of starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, the Minnesota Vikings are in a world of hurt. Their backups are Shaun Hill and Joel Stave.
Shaun Hill went undrafted in 2002. That’s right, he’s 36 now, after having stints over the years with the Vikings, Amsterdam Admirals, 49ers, Lions, Rams, and the Vikings again. Over the past five years, he been strictly a backup, completed more than 10 passes in a season but once – when he relieved the injured Sam Bradford in 2014. This preseason, Hill is 17-for-25 on his passes with an 8.3 yards per pass average, no touchdowns or interceptions, and with a 90.
