The Vikings elevated Wolford from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.
Scouting Report
Leading the Alliance of American Football in touchdown passes got him a second chance as an NFL quarterback, and he has shown enough in practice and preseason action to earn employment. Has not had the chance to showcase himself as a potential NFL starter, but he has the perfect demeanor for a backup quarterback: he can step into the lineup if needed.
Long Range Potential: Depth quarterback.
