Minnesota Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs is set to make his first home start against the New Orleans Saints, stepping up into a role still relatively new to him. While still trying to orientate himself inside the U.S. Bank Stadium, Dobbs is nevertheless making a strong impression.

The Vikings acquired Dobbs alongside a 2024 seventh-round pick, trading away a 2024 sixth-round pick in the process. A promising addition to the team, Dobbs was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft by the Steelers out of Tennessee and was originally positioned as the No. 3 QB behind the renowned Ben Roethlisberger.

Dobbs made his franchise debut with the Vikings in Week 9, demonstrating his potential by leading the team to a win. He proved himself further in his first start with remarkable performance, managing to both run for a touchdown and throw for significant gains.

The ascension of Dobbs has triggered whispers of a possible new football legend in Minnesota. His outstanding performance on the field has even placed him in the running for the NFL regular season Most Valuable Player. This shows great promise for the Vikings and for Dobbs, as he continues to carve out his path through the NFL.
