Vikings post-minicamp 53-man roster prediction

Specialists (3)

• Jordan Berry, Gabe Brkic, Andrew DePaola

Another year, another chance for a new face among the trio of specialists. Last year, Greg Joseph became the team’s kicker but will have to compete with undrafted free agent Gabe Brkic for the job this year.

Joseph may have been tendered as a free agent, but Brkic received a three-year contract from the purple and gold, making this competition one of the most interesting ones to happen leading up to the 2022 season.

There is also competition at punter with Jordan Berry going up against undrafted free agent Ryan Wright, but changing too much within a unit unless they are starting fresh can be a huge disaster from a continuity standpoint.

Andrew DePaola is the only safe one for now. When he’s not hitting home runs at Adam Thielen’s charity baseball game, he’s the only long snapper on the roster for the Minnesota Vikings and should feel pretty comfortable right now.
