Offensive line (9)
- Ezra Cleveland
- Aviante Collins
- Dakota Dozier
- Rashod Hill
- Pat Elflein
- Garrett Bradbury
- Brian O’Neill
- Riley Reiff
- Dru Samia
Let’s be honest, the offensive line situation for the Minnesota Vikings is a mess. The team seems to be sticking by left guard Pat Elflein after a year where he massively struggled in pass protection and Garrett Bradbury took some major lumps during his rookie year at center. Both are likely to return to their 2019 role.
In addition, the offensive tackles look to remain the same as well. Despite some criticism and a hefty salary, Riley Reiff should be the team’s blindside protector with youngster Brian O’Neill holding down the right tackle spot.
Competition should be hot for the starting right guard position, but it should boil down to Dru Samia and Ezra Cleveland for the job. Cleveland should be able to win that battle and round out the starting five.
Samia will still make the roster as a backup along with Aviante Collins, Rashod Hill, and Dakota Dozier. However, keep an eye on rookie Kyle Hinton as he could impress enough to bump an interior lineman off the 53.
