Sam Bradford will likely open 2017 as Vikings' starter
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford will open the 2017 season as the team's starter, ESPN reports.
Teddy Bridgewater faces a steep climb to get back healthy in time for Week 1, but this report suggests Bradford will be the starter regardless of Bridgewater's health. Bradford has performed surprisingly well in a tough situation, and the Vikings may want to see what he can do with a full offseason in the system and a better offensive line.
In a surprisingly successful debut for Minnesota, Bradford ranks 13th in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs this season.
