Vikings Training Camp 2018: Previewing the wide receivers
By Chris Schad
The Rest:
Stacy Coley, Cayleb Jones, Brandon Zylstra, Tavarres King, Jake Wieneke, Korey Robertson, Jeff Badet, and Chad Beebe
Beyond the quartet of household names, the Vikings will have a battle royale for the final receiver spot on the roster (or spots if they choose to keep six receivers).
Coley is one of the most notable names on the list after flashing last preseason. The 2017 sixth-rounder out of Miami showed some playmaking ability and could be an intriguing addition to the main roster thanks to his ability in the return game.
Zylstra is also a name to watch after dominating the CFL a year ago. The New London Spicer product racked up 1,687 yards and five touchdowns for the Edmonton Eskimos in 2017 and reviews were positive coming out of OTAs.
Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press threw out an Adam Thielen comparison thanks to his build (6-foot-2, 216 pounds) and his path to the Vikings. But Zylstra will be looking to carve out his own name during camp.
