Kellen Mond

The next week against the [San Francisco 49ers](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/SF/san-francisco-49ers/), however, Mond completed 10 of 20 passes for 82 yards and threw two interceptions. Mond threw six touchdowns and ran for another, maintaining his focus for nearly five hours to pull out a win for the Aggies. Coming out of Texas A&M, Mond was a prospect that intrigued many teams, and he even won the Reese's Senior Bowl MVP after completing 13 of 25 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns in the showcase. Mannion didn't perform very well against the 49ers, either, which caused the Vikings to [ trade for Mullens](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vikings-trade-grades-minnesota-acquires-qb-nick-mullens-from-raiders-adding-new-backup-behind-kirk-cousins/) that next Monday. [Per NFL Media](https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1564610951327916039), the [Minnesota Vikings](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIN/minnesota-vikings/) are waiving second-year quarterback [Kellen Mond](/nfl/players/2758278/kellen-mond/). Mond had a solid showing during the Vikings' first preseason matchup this year against the [Las Vegas Raiders](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/LV/las-vegas-raiders/), completing 9 of 14 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

Minnesota selected the Aggies signal-caller in the third-round of the 2021 draft.

He’ll now head to waivers with the possibility of returning to the Vikings practice squad later in the week. However, the 23-year-old failed to live up to the expectations set out for him over the course of his brief time with the Vikings. After a shaky rookie year that saw him test positive for COVID-19 while competing with Sean Mannion to be Kirk Cousins’s backup, Mond got a fresh start this season under new coach Kevin O’Connell.

It's cutdown day in the NFL and the Minnesota Vikings have waived quarterback Kellen Mond.

With Mond on waivers, the Vikings (now led by GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah) are content to move forward with Cousins and Mullens at the top of the depth chart. The [interest shown by the Texans](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/06/texans-wanted-kellen-mond-at-no-67) in the draft process demonstrated how he was regarded coming out of college. In his final season with the Aggies, Mond set a new career-mark in completion percentage (63.3%), and passer rating (146.9).

But, counter to the Vikings' current organizational status, the Bears will be a better team than them in as little as the season after the upcoming one. The team is not built to go deep in the playoffs, or even win games. But, unlike the Vikings, the Bears seem to have their quarterback in place for the considerable future. Mond failed to impress in his rookie season and this preseason, forcing the Vikings to look in another direction. The release is another bump in the road for Minnesota. He was expected to be the heir to Kirk Cousins and create a smooth transition from quarterback to quarterback.

Throughout spring drills, training camp and the first two games of the preseason, Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond battled to be the Vikings' backup quarterback ...

He was aware entering Tuesday that being on the practice squad was a possibility, and he vowed to “keep working” in his comeback. The Vikings also waived from 2021 edge rusher Janarius Robinson, a fourth-round pick, tight end Zach Davidson, a fifth-round selection, and defensive lineman Jaylen Twyman, who went in the sixth round. A source said Mannion is willing to continue working with Cousins while on the practice squad if he’s not signed by another team to a 53-man roster. That move saved the Vikings $1.25 million on the cap. The biggest surprise was when they waived Armon Watts, who was first on the depth chart at defensive end, and acquired to perhaps take his spot Ross Blacklock. However, a source said Mannion could be signed Wednesday to the 16-man practice squad.
