The Minnesota Vikings are looking to add a quarterback to the roster after Kirk Cousins ruptured his right Achilles tendon against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon.
After the injury, there have been a lot of quarterbacks discussed as potential options. Multiple reporters have mentioned free agent quarterback Colt McCoy, and for good reason.
The Vikings worked out McCoy on Oct. 10 when Nick Mullens was about to be placed on injured reserve. McCoy was a third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2010 NFL draft and has started 36 games in his career.
Why is McCoy notable? It isn’t just for his experience in the league. McCoy and Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell spent time in Washington together across three seasons when O’Connell was on staff and McCoy was the backup quarterback. He started three games for the team in those years and theoretically wouldn’t have much of an issue picking up the offense.
This move wouldn’t be the most thrilling, but it would be effective, especially in helping Hall succeed and develop on the field.
