Max Brosmer’s rise with Vikings might be happening faster than anyone realized

It's not typical for a team to speak so highly and often about their third-string quarterback, but the Minnesota Vikings certainly feel like they found something special in undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer.

From the moment Brosmer walked into the Vikings' facilities, he impressed his coaches, including his head coach, Kevin O'Connell. He played so well in the preseason that he beat out veteran quarterbacks Brett Rypien and Sam Howell for a spot on the roster. Howell got traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Rypien was released.

Brosmer finished the preseason with 364 yards and two touchdowns to one interception, with a completion percentage of 60.
