Justin Coleman, CB, Tennessee
The 5-11 Coleman put up impressive numbers at the combine and has a good shot to make the squad as a special teams player.
Davaris Daniels, WR, Notre Dame
Daniels sat out all of last year after being suspended for academic fraud. The 6-1, 201-pound Daniels is an interesting talent but he’s behind the curve a bit after missing a whole year.
Christian Dudzik, DB, North Dakota State
The 5-10, 185-pound Dudzik is obviously undersized and will have a tough road ahead of him if he wants to catch on.
Tom Farniok, C, Iowa State
The 6-3, 301-pound Farniok is not particularly impressive physically.
Anthony Harris, S, Virginia
The 6-1, 183-pound Harris is an instinctive, fast-reacting player who lacks stand-out ability. Nevertheless, he is seen as someone who has a chance to be a factor at the next level.
Taylor Heinike, QB, Old Dominion
Not a big quarterback and doesn’t have a big arm, but people like his leadership and his quick release. The Vikings may try to develop him as Teddy Bridgewater’s backup.
Jordan Leslie, WR, BYU
A tall receiver who ran a 4.41 40 at BYU pro day. The next Adam Thielen?
Gavin Lutman, WR, Pittsburg State
Another taller receiver.
Blake Renaud, LB, Boise State
A linebacker who played at Boise State.
Bobby Vardaro, G, Boston College
"Vardaro was productive and durable during his time at Boston College but is an average athlete with poor size/speed numbers. His tenacity and run blocking ability could help him catch on as a backup lineman."
