During all of this weekend’s college football games, which 2020 NFL Draft prospects should Minnesota Vikings fans be keeping an eye on?

The college football season is in full stride. The NFL season has essentially ended for a handful of teams, which means it is time for them to shift their focus to the 2020 draft.

The Minnesota Vikings have turned things around after a slow start and they are now in a position to represent the NFC in the playoffs. While the Vikings and their fans continue to focus on the current season, I am here to look at some prospects.

For the rest of the college football season, I will be here to guide fans towards my top watches in college football each week.

This week is a bit of a slow week compared to what we have seen recently. Still, there are plenty of guys to keep an eye on as the draft nears.

Early-round talent is always important to watch because you never know what will happen come late April. Late-round guys are also worth checking in on and giving a shot based on athletic talent.

Minnesota has a handful of contract questions to deal with following this season. Luckily for them, the 2020 NFL Draft class is full of talent across the board, especially at the positions the Vikings need to upgrade the most.

So for this week, who are the potential 2020 draft prospects to watch in Week 8 of the college football season?
