CBS Minnesota

December 23, 2022

Kevin O'Connell was an NFL prospect in the process of workouts and meetings when New York Jets quarterbacks coach Brian Daboll arrived for a pre-draft session with the San Diego State product.

O'Connell landed with New England instead for the start of his short-lived playing career in 2008, but he developed an instant respect for Daboll that day that kept growing throughout their journeys across the league.

Nearly 15 years later, they'll be strategizing against each other on opposite sidelines in Minnesota when the Vikings host the New York Giants on Saturday in a matchup of this season's two most successful rookie coaches.
