Tanner Morgan

Morgan failed to live up to lofty expectations as for the second year in a row he threw 10 touchdowns or less. In the 2020 season, he only played seven games so it was understandable but Morgan had no such excuses during the 2021 campaign where he only had one more touchdown (10) than interceptions (9). Clearly, the Minnesota quarterback cannot be relied upon to reach the astounding numbers he had in 2019 but he may have a chance to at least rebound from these past two seasons. Wide receiver Chris Autman-Bell has shown some promise and built a good rapport with Morgan, so the quarterback should be able to produce good numbers with his number one wideout. Also, star running back Mohamed Ibrahim has decided to return so that should take some pressure off Morgan and allow him to take advantage of a strong play-action game. Altogether Morgan shouldn’t be expected to reach the heights of his 2019 season but he has a good opportunity to outshine the duds that he produced the last two seasons.
