Minnesota Vikings 53-man roster prediction after 2023 minicamp
By Adam Carlson
Vikings Quarterbacks (3)
- Kirk Cousins
- Nick Mullens
- Jaren Hall
Much like previous years, Kirk Cousins is the clear starter heading into the season and is extremely unlikely to lose that role. He will provide consistency at the quarterback position and has been to the Pro Bowl in back-to-back years.
Cousins has thrown at least 26 touchdowns in each of his seasons in Minnesota and has never thrown more than 14 interceptions in a year. However, the Vikings will need to protect him better since he was sacked a career-high 46 times last season.
Nick Mullens should act as the team's primary backup. With five seasons of experience under his belt and 17 career starts, he is capable of entering a game and helping the team to a win if that situation happens.
The Minnesota Vikings used a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on BYU prospect Jaren Hall and he should get every possible opportunity to see what he has to offer the team. He has the potential to impress during the preseason and move up the depth chart this offseason and preseason.
