As a dual-threat quarterback, Armstrong sought to join the NFL by changing positions. Prior to the NFL Draft, Armstrong converted positions to wide receiver. Armstrong was not invited to the NFL Combine and, despite attracting interest during Nebraska's pro day, was not drafted in 2017 NFL Draft. Armstrong was subsequently given a tryout with the Minnesota Vikings as a running back, but was later asked to sign as a safety, a defensive position and one he had not played since high school. Armstrong was not signed by Minnesota following his early May tryout but later did sign with the Vikings as a safety on May 30, 2017. He was later waived by the Vikings on June 16, 2017.

For the season he completed 68 of 131 passes for 966 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also rushed for 202 yards with two touchdowns. Armstrong started all 13 games as a sophomore in 2014. He completed 184 of 345 passes for 2,695 yards, 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and also rushed for 705 yards with 6 touchdowns.
