There are a ton of intriguing storylines to follow entering Minnesota Vikings training camp later this month, many of which<\/a> begin and end at the quarterback position. Not only will the Vikings enter camp for the third-straight season with a new QB penciled in under center, but this time<\/a> it\u2019s 2024 No. 10 overall pick, JJ McCarthy.<\/p>\n Behind the redshirt rookie, Minnesota has 24 y\/o<\/a> Sam Howell, 29 y\/o<\/a> Brett Rypien and undrafted 2024 Minnesota Gophers one-and-done quarterback, Max Brosmer. For now, the expectation is that Rypien and Howell will compete for the QB2 job this summer, while the former Gopher will ultimately be cut or moved to the practice squad.<\/p>\n With months remaining between now and the start of the 2025 NFL regular season, a lot can change. But throughout OTAs and minicamp, McCarthy took the majority of reps at QB, while the rest were divvied out to Howell and Rypien. Brosmer, meanwhile, didn\u2019t get a ton of opportunities.<\/p>\n Max Brosmer impressing those inside TCO Performance Center<\/p>\n The lack of practice reps early on for Brosmer, however, haven\u2019t dampened the staff\u2019s outlook on their 24-year-old UDFA signing. In fact, it sounds like Max has found ample opportunity to impress those inside TCO Performance Center.<\/p>\n Vikings insider Alec Lewis (The Athletic)<\/a>, for example, came away intrigued by how much Vikings staffers are raving about Brosmer\u2019s work ethic, professional approach and just how quickly he\u2019s picking up on the intricacies of head coach Kevin O\u2019Connell\u2019s offense. From the sounds of it, they aren\u2019t going to let him leave the building anytime soon.<\/p>\n Max Brosmer, QB:\u00a0Intriguing is the best way to describe his spring. Multiple staffers raved about his ability to pick up small intricacies. His professional approach and ability to process should keep him in the league for a while.<\/p>\n Alec Lewis \u2013 The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n During his only season in Dinkytown, Brosmer finished with the second-highest<\/a> single-season completion percentage in Gopher football history, at 66.5%. He also tossed for<\/a> the 3rd-most yards (2,828) and 8th-most touchdowns (18). Had he joined PJ Fleck & Co one year earlier, there\u2019s no telling the records he would have set.<\/p>\n Max Brosmer (Minnesota) is probably my favorite Day 3 QB. Absolute machine on intermediate throws and is by far the best anticipatory passer that I\u2019ve watched. I\u2019d draft him just to specialize as my 3rd & medium QB.pic.twitter.com\/wJCRgekYKi<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 James Foster (@NoFlagsFilm) January 17, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Did Minnesota Vikings find a QB gem in the rough?<\/p>\n Instead, we now get to enjoy him in a purple uniform. Unlike other Gopher QBs who have gotten an opportunity with the Vikings, they really seem to like what they see in Max \u2014 who they guaranteed $246,000<\/a> as a 2025 undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise that those inside the Minnesota Vikings organization have been impressed by Max Brosmer this summer. He came onto the U of M campus<\/a> last summer with that same approach, raising the bar not just for his new Gopher teammates, but everyone inside the football program.<\/p>\n Happy to report we sent these new Minnesota Vikings home with fresh walleye! \u2014 Otter Tail Country (@OtterTailCounty) June 18, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n Related: KOC Reveals First Impressions of QB Max Brosmer<\/a><\/p>\n He\u2019s the ultimate leader<\/a> \u2014 which is a prerequisite for playing quarterback at a high level \u2014 who sets a different kind of standard<\/a> for himself and those around him. Now, it\u2019s a matter of talent and whether he has enough to make it in the National Football League. I\u2019d argue he is highly underrated<\/a> in that category too.<\/p>\n Of course, none of this means we\u2019ll see Brosmer active on MN Vikings game days anytime in the immediate future. But make no doubt, KOC & Co appear to get more and more bullish on Max Brosmer every day he spends in Eagan.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: Max Brosmer<\/a> <\/p>\n More About:Minnesota Vikings<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t![\"Max](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/NFL-Minnesota-Vikings-Minicamp-26416321-788x525.jpg\")
