Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has been equally as curious as fans to see what backup quarterback Kellen Mond would look like in his second-year with the team.
So far, so good for the former third-round draft pick out of Texas A&M.
“Yeah, Kellen’s having a good spring so far, working incredibly hard, digesting the system,” O’Connell told media members on Wednesday. “He made a couple of checks yesterday at the line of scrimmage that he wasn’t prepared play-by-play for, like, ‘Hey, make sure on play 12 you’re ready to do this.’ He just kind of instinctively did that. Those are the little things you look for obviously.”
