After Kyle Sloter was cut by the Denver Broncos in 2017, the Vikings outbid several teams to bring him to Minnesota. This preseason, Sloter has proven his worth with several solid performances.

Sloter went undrafted out of Northern Colorado, but he showed great potential while fighting for a roster spot in Denver. Kyle showcased outstanding arm strength, but it wasn’t enough to keep the rookie in the Rockies.

Since joining the Vikings, Sloter has gained confidence on the gridiron. He started the preseason with a solid debut back in Denver, going 9/11 with one touchdown. Denver fans surely miss the sharpshooter, as their backups have been shaky at best.

Last week, I watched the third-stringer lead a game winning drive against the Seahawks. The Denver castoff fought his way down the field and then perfectly drove a pass into the waiting hands of Chad Beebe for a touchdown. He then sealed the game with a two-point conversion to Jake Wieneke, and the home crowd went wild.

Due to a lack of experience, Sloter will likely start the season as the Vikings third-string quarterback. Nonetheless, he has given coaches plenty of confidence and is making a name for himself in Minnesota.
