Vikings Training Camp 2019: Top 4 takeaways from Day 7
By Adam Patrick
Cousins and Diggs connecting well on the deep ball
In their first season together last year, Kirk Cousins and Stefon Diggs proved to be a dangerous combination. Diggs was one of Cousins’ favorite targets in 2018 and the duo connected 102 times for 1,021 yards and nine touchdowns.
During this year’s Vikings camp, it seems like the two are working on improving their connection deeper down the field.
Cousins has found Diggs numerous times on deep balls over the past few practices, including one during Friday’s practice that was an absolute beauty. It seems like Minnesota’s new offense may be looking to utilize Diggs downfield speed a bit more this season.
The talented Vikings receiver has six career touchdown catches of 30 yards or more and two of these came last year with Cousins as his quarterback. Based on what’s been happening during training camp, expect the two to try and connect for a score on more than just two deep passes in 2019.
