What happened: Minnesota is weighing more than individual passing ability as it picks its 2026 starter. Training-camp work will test each candidate’s command of the system.

Why it matters: The winner will take control of the offense entering the upcoming season. The decision will also establish the runner-up’s role and development path.

What to watch: Practice rotations and the timing of a formal decision are the next markers.
