Good for him, he still has to make the 53 player roster.

This just in it, he won’t be trying out at the QB position.

He could be a valuable guy on a roster. He should learn how to long snap and learn the whole offense as if he were going to play QB as well as TE. As you point out, roster spots are limited. A guy who could be your emergency QB who already knows the offense could be valuable to have stashed on your practice squad. I guarantee you he could be better at QB than some of the guys who have bounced around on practice squads. My Vikes have started some AWFUL QBs who looked like they had never played the position due to njuries. Spurgeon Wynn was one guy I think. Haarberg would look like Fran Tarkenton compared to that guy.

Ohh I’m rooting for him but I don’t put him on this special pedestal that top Kong portrays him.

It’s not a pedestal. It’s truth.

Love the shout out to Fran Tarkenton. People should look at YouTube videos of Fran in his prime. He was a fun watch. "That's Incredible" (a cryptic message, probably only known by old people)

Thanks for spelling Tarkenton correctly. The ai word completion on here kept making it Tarking and I was too lazy to check it. . I expect to see Colandrea to make some Fran the Man style plays buying time this fall .
