Case Keenum VR Upped his Game

The great thing about Virtual Reality that I see, is reviewing a game where a QB made some bad decisions, or bad throws, and instead of just watching it, they can "participate" in the replay with VR. It's worked for Case Keenum, maybe it will help Russell Wilson.

How more than 2,500 virtual reality reps helped transform Case Keenum's game

This season, Keenum found a way to get the most out his time every week, particularly when he’s not getting live reps or in the quarterback room.

That method is virtual reality. Like many teams across the NFL and in college football, the Minnesota Vikings use technology patented by STRIVR, an industry leader in virtual reality training.

A lot of guys who are starters don’t think they need it anymore because they’re getting reps on the field,” Belch said. “[Keenum] said, ‘No, I think this is something that would be even more valuable as a starter as a supplemental preparation tool.’”

As a result, Keenum has had thousands of additional mental reps.

In total since he took over starting duties in Week 2, Keenum has viewed 2,647 plays through virtual reality, which translated to him getting to review every play the Vikings have run this season two to three times from a mental standpoint over the course of the year, according to STRIVR’s tracking data

This is a really interesting article, thanks for posting it! I hope RW will take advantage of this if he isn't already. Paul Allen certainly has the resources to get the best VR setup in the league if the players/coaches want it.

I wonder how long it will be before you're able to play Madden this way...
