Kevin O'Connell can't stop singing the praises of Vikings undrafted rookie

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell's attention has been caught by undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, who has been making a case for him to be the third-string quarterback on the roster.

Brosmer saw significant playing time in the Vikings' 20-12 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2 of preseason action. He finished the game completing 15 of 27 passes for 156 yards and one interception, but he almost completed a 20-9 comeback and was 13 yards away from setting up the potential game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion.

During his postgame press conference, O'Connell praised his young quarterback as he has been handling the pass rushes of the NFL and improving his game.
