5 best Vikings rookies during the Mike Zimmer era

Since Mike Zimmer was hired in 2014, which rookies have performed the best during their first season as a member of the Minnesota Vikings?

During their existence as a franchise the Minnesota Vikings have seen a number of impressive seasons from players in their very first year with the team.

This has remained the case since Mike Zimmer was hired to be the Vikings’ head coach in 2014. Since Zimmer was brought on board, Minnesota has done a great job at building a good portion of their current roster through the NFL Draft.

The Vikings are hoping that at least a few of the 12 players they added during this year’s draft will be able to help the team succeed in some way next season. One of these guys may even perform better than any rookie Minnesota has had on their roster with Zimmer as their head coach.

Over the past five seasons, the Vikings have received some great performances from a number of their rookies. But which five first-year players have had the best rookie seasons in a Minnesota uniform since Zimmer was hired in 2014?
