Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyle Sloter is officially the top draft pick for the USFL’s New Orleans Breakers.
NFL legend and former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees announced the 28-year-old signal caller as the No. 8 overall pick of the 2022 USFL Draft on Tuesday.
Sloter was a depth signing late last season for the Vikings with starting quarterback Kirk Cousins and backup Nate Stanley being put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. However, he didn’t get an opportunity to see the field with the team promoting veteran Sean Mannion as the starter and rookie third-round draft pick Kellen Mond as the primary backup.
