Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Jordan Ta’amu won a UFL championship last weekend, as his DC Defenders chipped off the Michigan Panthers by a score of 58-34.
Bleacher Report named a former Vikings quarterback as a top option for an NFL comeback after a UFL chip. Could a comeback be in the cards?
Ta’amu played masterfully throughout the season, especially in the championship, and could be in line for an NFL reunion. Bleacher Report listed five UFLers who deserve another look on the biggest stage, and Ta’amu was included.Bleacher Report Names Jordan Ta’ama an NFL Return Candidate
The UFL often acts as a springboard for that league’s top players to grab NFL auditions. The season may be no different.
BR’s Brent Sobleski explained, “Jordan Ta’amu has been Mr. Spring Football. He’s played well enough between multiple leagues to get cups of coffee with the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings after being an undrafted signee by the Houston Texans.”Why Jordan Ta’amu’s Name Is NFL-Relevant Again
Winning the UFL Championship
Listen, Ta’amu was magnificent en route to thrashing the Panthers in the title game.
He accounted for 5 total touchdowns, with 390 passing yards on a 21/28 completion-to-attempt ratio, along with 28 rushing yards. The Hawaiian was named the UFL Championship MVP — how could he not with those numbers? — and had previously earned the same league’s MVP award in 2023.
In short, Ta’amu has excelled in the offshoot league.
