Case Keenum may or may not be back with the Minnesota Vikings this season with free agency just around the corner, but he already has the eye of new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo.

DeFilippo joined host Paul Allen on KFAN in Minneapolis on Friday morning and was asked about his thoughts on the Vikings signal-caller coming off of a career season where he is now set to earn a huge pay raise.

"Case did some really nice things last year. He extended plays, he didn't turn the ball over. I know the guys rally around him," he said. "He has some of that 'it' factor that players want to play hard for."

Keenum was far from flawless in 2017 and in the NFC Championship blowout at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, but there is no denying that the entire body of work was impressive and his charisma kept the ship afloat while everyone across the league was waiting for him to cool down.

DeFilippo also said that the three things he looks for the most in a quarterback are decision-making, timing and accuracy. Two of those things he has down pretty well, but the lapses in judgement are something the Vikings will have to look at closely when continuing to evaluate their options at quarterback.
