Webb, a quarterback out of the University of Alabama-Birmingham, was originally drafted by the Vikings with the intention of moving to wide receiver. However, he was impressive enough in mini-camps this summer that the coaching staff decided to keep him behind center.
Terms of Webb’s deal have not yet been made available.
