As the Vikings wrapped up practice on Friday at TCO Performance Center, a new face sporting a No. 13 jersey caught the eye of everybody in attendance.
It was newly signed quarterback Daniel Jones. He gathered joined the Vikings’ three other quarterbacks — starter Sam Darnold, backup Nick Mullens and reserve Brett Rypien — shooting the breeze before taking a few minutes to chat with reporters.
“I’m excited to be here,” Jones said. “Just looking to help out and be a part of this team.”
After being granted his release by the New York Giants last week, Jones took time to survey his options, then ultimately decided to sign with the Vikings this week. A big factor in his decision was getting to work with head coach Kevin O’Connell.
“His system has been successful,” Jones said. “Just being a part of that and learning from him and his whole staff was a great opportunity for me.”
