Sam Bradford, QB

Coming off arguably the best season of his career, Bradford and Minnesota are hoping that a full offseason will result in the quarterback leading a team to the playoffs for the first time since he entered the NFL in 2010.

No one has really ever questioned Bradford’s physical abilities. But at times throughout his career, he has seemed a bit hesitant to utilize them.

Next: Should the Vikings add a certain quarterback to their roster?

His production in 2017 may depend on how much the Vikings’ offensive line is able to improve from a year ago. If Bradford is able to have time to look downfield at more than one receiver this season, he could potentially have the type of year that validates why he was selected with the top draft pick in 2010.
