Fighting to be his team's starting quarterback isn't new for Aidan O'Connell. O'Connell succeeded with the Boilermakers, but his future is less certain in Las Vegas. “There hasn’t been a lot of years I’ve been the unquestioned starter going in, so I'm used to competing,” O’Connell said Thursday at a promotional event for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.
In this unsettled season for the Minnesota Vikings, Nick Mullens is next up at quarterback. Coach Kevin O'Connell announced Tuesday that Mullens will start Saturday at Cincinnati after relieving an ineffective Joshua Dobbs last week and helping lead the Vikings to a 3-0 victory at Las Vegas.
