4 offensive sleepers for the Vikings to watch at the 2020 NFL Combine
By Luke Parrish
The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is set to begin this week. Which offensive sleepers should the Minnesota Vikings have their eyes on in Indy?
The Minnesota Vikings are in a precarious situation as they prepare for the 2020 NFL season. The salary cap is likely going to cause major changes to their roster and this year’s draft will be more important than ever.
With questions regarding the future of Stefon Diggs, Dalvin Cook, and others, the Vikings offense could be brand new in 2020. Situations like this is where the NFL Draft comes in handy.
The NFL Scouting Combine offers a chance for collegiate stars to show their physical talent. While it is a showcase for the best prospects in the nation, it is also a chance to give under-the-radar hopefuls a shot at the playing in the best football league in the world.
Small-school players may test better than some of the so-called stars from Alabama. Late-round prospects could shoot up boards with a strong week, both in testing and in interviews.
This is an opportunity for these young men to make their dreams come true. With 256 picks in the NFL Draft, everyone has to be at their best in Indianapolis this week.
Before we go further, let it be known that only players that I have graded will be included in this list. Also, offensive linemen will not be listed. The Vikings desperately need help up front on offense and they probably will draft at least one lineman in the early rounds this year. This opens up the later rounds for the skill positions, which is where these sleepers will be found.
So let’s check out the four offensive sleepers for Minnesota to watch for during this week’s NFL Scouting Combine.
