The disappointment of not being selected in the NFL draft didn t last long for former Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer As much as he would ve loved to hear his name called last month Brosmer suddenly had selected options that he wouldn t have had otherwise There was a large part of him that was hoping to stay in Minnesota after taking a predraft visit with the Vikings So when it came to where he was going to sign as an undrafted free agent it was a pretty easy decision for him We talk about people making organizations Brosmer stated The people here make this organization special Those comments from Brosmer came on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center after he wrapped up practice The arm talent that allowed Brosmer to complete of passes for yards and touchdowns last season with the Gophers was on display as he took the field for the first time with the Vikings There were highs and lows from Brosmer across roughly minutes of action including several perfectly placed throws along the sideline as well as a couple of interceptions that he d like to have back All the while Brosmer appreciated getting to learn from head coach Kevin O Connell quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and assistant quarterbacks coach Jordan Traylor Every time we had a positive play or a negative play it was reliably like Hey let s talk about it for a second ' Brosmer stated I didn t realize there were screens out here replaying the play right away so I was like That s awesome I m dependably looking forward to going back to the film room and watching it Now I get to watch it in real time Inquired about the process that led him to this point Brosmer smiled saying It s been absolutely insane He added that he couldn t be happier with how it all worked out for him saying I look at it like things are supposed to happen for a reason That s the prism through which Brosmer has inevitably tried to look at his path There s a reason his family moved from Davenport Iowa to Roswell Georgia when he was a teenager There s a reason he committed to New Hampshire despite not knowing much about the area at the time There s a reason he ended up transferring to the Gophers after proving himself at the FCS level How about now There s a reason I m here Brosmer noted It all unfolded the way it should It isn t lost on Brosmer that it will be an uphill climb for him to stick with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent That revealed Brosmer is grateful for the opportunity and he s excited to get to work with a position group that includes presumed starting quarterback J J McCarthy presumed backup quarterback Sam Howell and reserve quarterback Brett Rypien The people are absolutely incredible Brosmer explained I can t wait to find out what my journey looks like along my path here Related Articles How the son of Vikings legend Randy Moss is stepping out from his dad s shadow Five undrafted players to keep an eye on at Vikings rookie minicamp Vikings legend Randall McDaniel gives his take on rookie Donovan Jackson How the Vikings adopted their new mantra MORE IS REQUIRED Vikings quarterback J J McCarthy I know I m ready to start
