T.J. Clemmings, OL

This seems like the final hurrah for Clemmings. After the Vikings used a fourth-round pick on him in the 2015 NFL Draft, the young offensive lineman was immediately thrown into the fire during his rookie year due to other Minnesota blockers being injured.

His rookie season was not too hot and his second year with the Vikings was not much better either as he was, once again, forced to play because of other team members going down with injuries.

So this offseason, Minnesota has been trying to convert Clemmings from a tackle into a guard and seeing if that would be a better fit for him. He does have actual on-field experience with the Vikings in the regular season, but that may not be enough for him to keep a roster spot this year.
