Jake Browning

On April 29, 2019, Browning signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent. He was waived on August 31, 2019 and was signed to the practice squad the next day. He signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on January 12, 2020.

In his sophomore year, Browning performed on a much higher level, guiding UW to a 12–2 record, and the Huskies first conference championship since 2000. He set a new record for touchdowns per attempt at 12.2%. On November 29, he was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year and first team all-Pac-12. Browning came in sixth in the 2016 Heisman Trophy voting, narrowly missing an invitation to attend the award ceremony in New York City. His sixth-place finish is the second best Heisman voting finish in school history, behind only Steve Emtman who finished fourth.

In his first year at Washington, Browning became the second ever (in any game) true freshman to start at the quarterback position at UW (the other was Marques Tuiasosopo vs. Oregon in 1997) and the first true freshman to start a season opener for the Huskies. In his first career start, he completed 20 of 34 passes for 150 yards and one interception.
