Tampa Bay journeyman Baker Mayfield won the same honor one week later when he posted the first-ever perfect passer rating (158.3) by a visiting quarterback at Lambeau Field.

Then last week, Carolina’s Bryce Young — struggling through a rough rookie year — set career-highs for passing yards and passer rating against the Packers’ dismal defense.

Minnesota announced Thursday that Hall, a rookie fifth round draft pick, will be its starting quarterback when the Packers and Vikings meet in a must-win game Sunday night between a pair of 7-8 teams

And the way Green Bay’s dreadful defense has performed in recent weeks, Hall could be the next mediocre quarterback to light the Packers up.

“I feel like he has been doing a great job in learning and just the process of being a rookie and carrying that role,” Minnesota star receiver Justin Jefferson said of Hall. “I feel like Jaren is definitely a great quarterback. He has definitely some potential to spark this offense up if we put him out there to play

Every quarterback the Packers have played, of late, has had a field day against Joe Barry’s underachieving defense. Green Bay’s challenge is to make sure Hall isn’t next in line.

The 6-foot, 207-pound Hall is undersized and lacks the arm strength to drive the ball into tight windows. His accuracy and ball placement are top notch, though, and he has the ability to hurt teams with his legs, as well.

So far this season, Chicago’s Justin Fields (59 yards), Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers (73) and Devito (71) have all had big games on the ground against Green Bay. Hall ran for 657 yards during his final two seasons at BYU, and the Packers must make sure to limit his damage in the open field.

“He’s obviously a very talented thrower and he’s got a lot of mobility,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said of Hall. “So, that’s something that we’ve struggled with quite a bit are those mobile quarterbacks, being able to break contain and pick up yardage with their legs. So I know that we’re going to have our hands full just defending him.”

Hall started Minnesota’s Week 9 game in Atlanta, and completed 5-of-6 passes for 78 yards and ran for 11 yards. But he suffered a first quarter concussion and left the game.

Hall hasn’t played since, as Minnesota tried both Josh Doubs and Nick Mullens under center to replace the injured Kirk Cousins (torn Achilles). After Mullens threw four interceptions last week, though, Minnesota head coach Kevin O’Connell opted to make a switch before the biggest game of the season.

“We have to maintain possession of the football,” O’Connell said. “The turnover margin has been well-talked about all season long, and I just felt like, at this time, giving Jaren a full week of preparation and a clear-cut mindset on the game plan (was best). I’m excited to see what Jaren can ultimately do.”

The good news for Hall and the Vikings is Green Bay’s defense has been sieve-like in recent weeks. Four of the last five quarterbacks the Packers have faced — Detroit’s Jared Goff (103.6), Devito (113.9), Mayfield (158.3) and Young (110.0) — have all exceeded a passer rating of at least 100.0.

While Hall has virtually no NFL experience, he’ll be working with dynamic pass catchers Jefferson, Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn. The Packers will also be operating without No. 1 cornerback Jaire Alexande, who was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team on Wednesday.

“These young, athletic quarterbacks that are kind of coming into our league right now, that’s something you’ve got to be worried about all the time,” Barry said of Hall’s ability to scramble. “This kid definitely falls into that category that you do have to be conscious of it.

“When you do have a quarterback that can run – I’m talking about both when it’s a designed, called run but then also when things break down and you have the perfect coverage but then a guy can take off and create and run and make plays on his own that’s a weapon that offenses.
