EAGAN, Minnesota — Kyler Murray has been named the starting quarterback of the Vikings. A report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter officially broke the news that has been widely expected since Murray signed as a free agent with the Vikings. Kevin O’Connell is scheduled to talk to reporters at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENTThough the quarterback competition between Murray and J.J. McCarthy had been ongoing throughout training camp, the outcome itself felt somewhat expected when looking at the big picture. Not only did the Vikings target Murray early in the process of free agency, but they did so because McCarthy struggled to adapt to the highest level.
