Wisconsin Football: Joel Stave’s Chances of Making the Minnesota Vikings Roster

Heading into the 2016 NFL Draft, former Wisconsin football quarterback Joel Stave was considered to be a late draft pick or an undrafted free agent, and the latter projection was confirmed when seven rounds passed and his name was not called.

Shortly after the draft, Stave was one of seven former Badgers to sign in undrafted free agency, joining up with the Minnesota Vikings.

What are the chances that he makes the final 53-man roster? Better than you might think.

The Vikings quarterback situation is not strong. Behind starter Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota has three quarterbacks – Stave, Shaun Hill and Taylor Heinicke.
