5 second-year Vikings poised for a big sophomore season in 2022

As the Minnesota Vikings look to the 2022 season, what players from the 2021 rookie class are poised to make a leap this upcoming year?

This offseason has been quite chaotic for the Minnesota Vikings to say the least. An entirely new coaching staff, new front office personnel, and plenty of trade rumors have kept everyone on their toes.

With Minnesota wiping the slate clean, some of the team’s younger players could be given more opportunities to go out and prove they have what it takes to help this franchise win.

After some of the recent reports about those that were previously leading the team revealed that more harm was being done than help last year, could some of the Vikings players from the team’s 2021 rookie class, who were buried in the depth chart last season, get their chance in 2022?

We already know that the likes of Christian Darrisaw and Kene Nwangwu will have their roles (though Nwangwu’s role may increase in the offense this year) but who are some other players from the 2021 rookie class that could take on bigger roles?

Let’s see who some of these Vikings players are that could potentially breakout for the team next season.
