The disappointment of not being selected in the 2025 NFL draft didnt last long for former Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer.

As much as he wouldve loved to hear his name called last month, Brosmer suddenly had some options that he wouldnt have had otherwise.

ADVERTISEMENT There was a large part of him that was hoping to stay in Minnesota after taking a predraft visit with the Vikings.

So when it came to where he was going to sign as an undrafted free agent, it was a pretty easy decision for him.

We talk about people making organizations, Brosmer said.

The people here make this organization special.

Those comments from Brosmer came on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center after he wrapped up practice.

The arm talent that allowed Brosmer to complete 268 of 403 passes for 2,828 yards and 18 touchdowns last season with the Gophers was on display as he took the field for the first time with the Vikings.

There were highs and lows from Brosmer across roughly 90 minutes of action, including some perfectly placed throws along the sideline, as well as a couple of interceptions that hed like to have back.

All the while, Brosmer appreciated getting to learn from head coach Kevin O'Connell, quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and assistant quarterbacks coach Jordan Traylor.

Every time we had a positive play or a negative play it was always, like, Hey lets talk about it for a second,' Brosmer said.

I didnt realize there were screens out here replaying the play right away, so I was, like, Thats awesome.

Im always looking forward to going back to the film room and watching it.

Now I get to watch it in real time.

ADVERTISEMENT Asked about the process that led him to this point, Brosmer smiled, saying, Its been absolutely insane.

He added that he couldnt be happier with how it all worked out for him, saying, I look at it like things are supposed to happen for a reason.

Thats the prism through which Brosmer has always tried to look at his path.

Theres a reason his family moved from Davenport, Iowa, to Roswell, Georgia, when he was a teenager.

Theres a reason he committed to New Hampshire despite not knowing much about the area at the time.

Theres a reason he ended up transferring to the Gophers after proving himself at the FCS level.

How about now? Theres a reason Im here, Brosmer said.

It all unfolded the way it should.

It isnt lost on Brosmer that it will be an uphill climb for him to stick with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.

That said, Brosmer is grateful for the opportunity, and hes excited to get to work with a position group that includes presumed starting quarterback J.J.

McCarthy, presumed backup quarterback Sam Howell, and reserve quarterback Brett Rypien.

ADVERTISEMENT The people are absolutely incredible, Brosmer said.

I cant wait to find out what my journey looks like along my path here.
