Jaren Hall’s command of the Minnesota huddle last weekend in Green Bay, in just the eighth week of his first season out of Brigham Young, made an impression. The Vikings think he is ready to start this weekend in Atlanta. Hall steps in with Kirk Cousins sidelined for the rest of the season because of a torn Achilles tendon.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall answers questions during a press conference after an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Green Bay, Wis. The Vikings won 24-10. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jaren Hall looks to pass during the second half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Green Bay, Wis.
Minnesota took Hall, already 25 years old, in the fifth round of this year’s draft as the 12th quarterback selected. At 6-foot, 207 pounds, he was considered a bit undersized. But Hall is athletic and considered to be an accurate passer.“How he came off, how he was on the sideline, getting some great feedback from the guys in the huddle with him, all that information led me to believe Jaren is ready for this moment,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said.
Now, he’ll lead an offense missing Cousins and star receiver Justin Jefferson, with fellow rookie Jordan Addison taking on more of a role with Jefferson sidelined. Another fifth-rounder, Clayton Tune, could start this weekend for Arizona after Dobbs was traded to Minnesota. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent also has started for Chicago.
