The biggest surprise of the Minnesota Vikings’ offseason and training camp has been quarterback Max Brosmer.

Each preseason game was better than the previous one. When trying to earn a roster spot, playing well is important, but arguably the more crucial element is showing improvement and consistency. Brosmer did all three for the Vikings this year.

Brosmer’s consistency has been huge. Pressure hasn’t phased him, and his decision-making is good under pressure. Brosmer is even willing to make tight window throws consistently, which is not something you see from rookie quarterbacks, let alone a UDFA.

The biggest element is pressure. You get it from all over the place, whether it be the defense getting in your face, the coaches, or the fanbase. Brosmer has shown he can handle it, and he believes it as well.

“Yeah, I think the pressure talk is, if you have pressure, something’s probably expected of you, or you expect it from yourself. And I think it’s a good thing,” said Brosmer about pressure. “I think that the pressure, the cliché is that the pressure makes diamonds. And there’s so much true about that statement, especially in athletics. . .”

“It’s like you’re playing in a brand new stadium that you haven’t played in before in Tennessee, and you’re playing in front of new fans, in front of new people. And it’s easier to play at home when you’re playing in front of the same people every week. And we have one of the best fan bases in the country. Now we’re coming into a different territory, and you’re kind of feeling maybe, all right, I have the expectation to go execute every single play to the best of my ability. But that’s the mindset is just go 1-0 on every play you can and don’t focus too far in the past or in the future. And usually that calms me down. I like to look at the logo on my chest and remind myself who I’m playing for, who I am playing with, and that keeps me grounded. So it’s been a lot of fun.”

That’s a level of maturity that you want to see from your starting quarterback, and he may be the third quarterback for the 2025 Vikings. You can never have too many quarterbacks, and his comments on pressure are just another data point that Brosmer is worth keeping and investing in.
