Can Jaren Hall replace Kirk Cousins? Purple Daily on Draft

The Minnesota Vikings are in a position that no team wants to be in. They have to turn the keys over to their backup quarterback, as starting quarterback Kirk Cousins will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles tendon.

That means rookie fifth-round pick Jaren Hall is in line to be the starter for the rest of the season. The big question is can they trust Hall to be the guy? A rookie fifth round pick doesn’t exactly ooze a lot of confindence from the fanbase.

What are they going to get from Hall? How can he succeed? Tyler Forness breaks him down and why he could succeed while also being real about him not being the likely successor to Cousins.

Also up for discussion is how the Vikings approach the trade deadline and the most recent week of college football.

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Daily on Draft, dropping every Monday afternoon on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.
