Keenum's mobility among greatest, underappreciated assets behind Vikings' success
Case Keenum is among the most effective mobile quarterbacks in the NFL this season.Shortly after Case Keenum stepped into the Vikings’ first-team huddle in September, he let the team’s wide receivers know things were going to work a little differently.
“That was something he kind of emphasized in practice: ‘Hey guys — make sure you’re staying alive, because I like to get out of the pocket,’ ” wide receiver Adam Thielen said. “ making sure that extending plays and making sure that us as receivers are getting open when he does.”
Keenum’s mobility, used to stress defensive coverages and create big plays downfield, has become a major part of the Vikings’ offense as the quarterback has put his stamp on the team during the first half of the 2017 season. According to Pro Football Focus, he is third in the league on throws outside the pocket, with a passer rating of 114.1.
