Max Brosmer

Vikings signed Minnesota QB Max Brosmer.

He’ll stay in Minnesota on a deal that includes $250,000 guaranteed, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Brosmer (6’2/217) made the leap from FCS New Hampshire to Minnesota for the 2024 season. He was immediately thrust into a starting role as a true freshman in 2019, but was limited to just one game in 2020 (COVID) and missed all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. He returned to throw for 3,157-27-8 in 2022, and threw for another 3,498-29-7 in his final season before joining the Golden Gophers. A leap in competition didn’t prove too tough for Brosmer, who threw for double-digit touchdowns in five of the 13 games he appeared in, which included a 320-yard, four-touchdown performance against Maryland. Brosmer’s deep accuracy leaves much to be desired (32.7 deep completion percent in 2024), but he excels in the short and intermediate parts of the field and has done well at keeping the ball out of harm’s way. Despite the one-year stint at an FBS program, Brosmer cemented himself as a legitimate NFL prospect, even if it’s just as a guy who has a chance to carve out a career as a backup. His ability to process plays and make good decisions with the ball are evident, and could work in his favor once he’s gotten up to speed with the pro game.
