Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton waited 35 years to catch a quarterback who provided such spot-on flashbacks to his improvisational playmaking.

The former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants great concurs with many draft evaluators who compare Johnny Football's uncanny ability to flee crumbling pockets and make big plays to the mesmerizing escape artist known as "Scramblin' Fran."

"Nobody really played like I played. This kid plays like I did more than anybody else," Tarkenton, 74, told USA TODAY Sports.
