PHILADELPHIA – Former BYU quarterback Jaren Hall took the majority of the snaps in the Minnesota Vikings’ preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday.

Hall completed 17 of his 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

The Vikings went undefeated in preseason with a lot of the credit belonging to Hall’s consistency.

After J.J. McCarthy stole the show in the first week of preseason and then went down with a season-ending injury, questions about Hall’s role in Minnesota heated up.

Even though he had a great game in week two, Hall only attempted five passes. However, in the Vikings’ final preseason game of 2024, the former BYU Cougar flourished.

Hall got the start at Lincoln Financial Field in the Vikings’ final preseason game against their rival Philadelphia Eagles.

Hall finished with a quarterback rating of 116.9.

The Vikings kick off their 2024 regular season against the New York Giants on Sunday, September 8.
