The Minnesota Vikings have a few positions they need to figure out during training camp as the 2021 NFL season approaches.

Although the Minnesota Vikings could still make some moves in free agency or trades, the team’s roster appears to be mostly settled in preparations for the 2021 NFL season. They spent a lot of time, money, and resources bringing in talented individuals to make the roster as competitive as possible.

Many of the starters and key contributors already have a pretty good idea of what their role is intended to be within the team while others have a big fight ahead of them in the hope of earning a starting role or becoming a key backup for the squad.

These battles have already been taking place to some extent during OTAs but the coaches and staff for the purple and gold will get a great look at each player during training camp and the preseason before making final decisions on personnel.

Let’s take a look at six spots that are currently up for grabs among the roster of the Minnesota Vikings, some key candidates who are up for the job, and a projection of who is most likely to come away victorious.
