3 most surprising players to make the Vikings 2020 roster
By Adam Carlson
1. Dan Chisena, wide receiver
Looking back, maybe it should have been more obvious that Dan Chisena would make the team’s roster. The way the Minnesota Vikings kept trying to find a spot for him at receiver or safety should have been a clue about how much they like him.
A player with blistering speed, Chisena could be a gunner for special teams and play other roles on kickoff returns and punts while honing his craft as a wide receiver. However, fans shouldn’t expect him to contribute on offense during the 2020 NFL season.
At only 23 years old and standing 6’3, Chisena has the physical tools to be worth developing as a pass-catcher. Still, it’s a bit surprising that the Vikings kept seven wide receivers on their 53 man roster despite needing help at other positions.
Which player on the Minnesota Vikings 53 man roster surprised you the most? And which of these individuals will survive until the kickoff of the 2020 NFL season and be on the team’s roster when they face off against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1? Let us know in the comments!
