What Vikings records can Jaren Hall break in his first-ever NFL start?

Against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Jaren Hall is expected to be the first rookie quarterback to start a game for the Minnesota Vikings since 2014.

Less than a week ago, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles in the middle of the team's Week 8 win over the Green Bay Packers, immediately ending his time on the field for the remainder of the 2023 season.

For the next matchup on their schedule against the Atlanta Falcons, the Vikings are expected to roll with rookie Jaren Hall as their starting quarterback. Minnesota selected Hall in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft earlier this year.

If all goes as planned, he will be the first rookie quarterback to start in a game for the Vikings since Teddy Bridgewater in 2014.

What Minnesota Vikings records could Jaren Hall break in Week 9 vs. the Atlanta Falcons?

Ever since Minnesota's very first season as a franchise in 1961, nine rookie quarterbacks have started under center in a purple and gold uniform, and Hall will be No. 10 on Sunday.

Of these rookies to start for the Vikings, some of them performed really well during their first appearance in the team's starting lineup (Todd Bouman, Teddy Bridgewater), while others had games that they would probably like everyone to forget about (Fran Tarkenton, Tommy Krammer).
