Vikings Training Camp 2021: Top 3 takeaways from Day 4

Body moving

In a previous takeaway from training camp, it was revealed that Wyatt Davis was working with Kellen Mond on exchanges. At first, this wasn’t too big of a deal as some work at center could increase his positional versatility while he primarily worked at guard.

Sadly, it sounds like this might not be as good as it sounds. Head coach Mike Zimmer named three people who were competing for the starting right guard position and none of them were for former All-American guard from Ohio State.

While it’s possible the team is only looking to get him some experience before getting him in any meaningful playing time, eliminating Davis as an option from the competition before the battle got going seems like a bad sign.

The fact it is already narrowed down Dozier, Udoh, or Samia to be the starting right guard is kind of scary and should lead fans to hope that Oli Udoh can step up and beat out the competition after seeing the struggles of the other competitors last season.

It should also be noted that Wyatt was missing from practice. It is unknown if this is due to him working on snaps with Kellen Mond or if his absence was due to something else.
