With LSU's QB history we can use any tool that will help.

This season, the Vikings utilized STRIVR, a Silicon Valley startup that enables athletes to run through plays in virtual reality without taking 90 percent of the physical toll. Keenum took advantage of the technology after seeing the demo while he was a member of the Rams and it was beneficial in getting him ready after Sam Bradford’s body began failing him.
At the end of each week, the quarterback goes in to Minnesota’s VR room at the practice facility to do a touch-up review and his last-minute checklist on a handful of the Vikings’ passing and blitz concepts. Over the course of 20 to 25 minutes, he’s able to comb through a few hundred reps as part of his final preparation.
Of course, nothing can replace live reps, but it’s the additional help that can result in a half second of information processing, which in turn could be the difference between finding an open receiver and getting flustered and throwing a frantic incompletion or taking a sack. This season, Keenum led the NFL in QBR under pressure and when blitzed, all while learning an entire new offense.
