6 pleasant surprises at Vikings training camp this year

Who are some of the players that have exceeded expectations and stood out for the Minnesota Vikings during the team’s first two weeks of training camp this year?

For the first time in a long time, there was not a ton of uncertainty surround the Minnesota Vikings as they headed into this year’s training camp.

During past seasons, the Vikings have used training camp as a way to figure out the starters for some of the most important positions on their roster. But this year, Minnesota already knew what the majority of their 2018 starting lineup would look like before they even arrived for training camp at the TCO Performance Center.

However, this doesn’t mean there still isn’t room on the roster for guys to step up and make a good impression during this year’s camp.

Injuries always play a factor in each season, so a good amount of the Vikings’ current depth players will likely see the field at some point this season. Some may even end up becoming significant contributors for Minnesota in 2018.

So for these lesser experienced guys on the Vikings’ roster, training camp is a vital time for them to show that they belong on the team’s regular season roster. Minnesota has now had over 10 training camp practices this year and a handful of players have raised a few eyebrows with their intriguing performances.
