Vikings QB Joshua Dobbs Aims ‘To Be Faithful’ To God In Everything
By Movieguide® Contributor
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs is among the most talked about players in the NFL after joining the team less than two weeks ago following veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins’ Achilles tendon tear.
Since then, Dobbs has proven he is the man for the job.
“On Sunday, he orchestrated a 27-19 home victory against the New Orleans Saints which saw the Vikings score three second-quarter touchdowns to put the game out of reach. One was a 28-yard toss to tight end T.J. Hockenson and another was a seven-yard scamper that electrified the crowd,” Sports Spectrum reported.
In a post-game interview, Dobbs said, “With the playmakers we have, with the mindset that we have, with the guys stepping up making plays, I think we definitely have a lot of potential moving forward.”
When asked how he’s handled all of the unforeseen circumstances, he said, “I’m taking it in stride. What I like to say is I’m exactly where my feet are. I’m not thinking too far ahead. I’m not thinking in the past. I’m right here taking it all in.”
The quarterback has been open about how he lives for Christ. At a Fellowship of Christian Athletes event in June, Dobbs discussed the moment he gave his life to God.
When he was sixteen, Dobbs said, “That was the time I publicly proclaimed my faith in Jesus Christ, and at the end of the day and end of our lives is all that really matters. He’s been faithful to me, so I aim to be faithful to Him in everything I do as a man.”
He told Bellevue Baptist Church, “I truly learned what it meant to be a Christian — what it meant to have my faith as a priority — when I got to college…If church is going to be a priority, if faith is a priority, I have to make it a priority. I have to go get involved in a church. I have to go be present, be willing, be involved.”
As Dobbs rests in Christ, watch him excel and lead his team toward victory.
