Vikings Training Camp 2022: Top 4 takeaways from Day 3
By Adam Carlson
There can be time for fun at training camp
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And sure. there is a lot of work to be done in training camp to prepare for the upcoming season but it wouldn’t be a good atmosphere if there aren’t opportunities to let loose a little bit.
One of the most fun clips from Friday involves the pass-rushing duo of Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith. The two were goofing around and flexing for the camera when the former Packers defender took the opportunity to have a little fun at No. 99’s expense.
As seen in the video, Smith slyly called for his water bottle and took to a drink. Then, when it came time to pose for the camera, he let loose a spray of water directly into his teammate’s face and then had a great laugh about it.
Another great example of the fun players are having at camp is how the atmosphere makes them want to dance. While Justin Jefferson is the Vikings player most associated with dancing the Griddy, C..J. Ham showed he has some pretty good moves as well.
Ham probably could have gotten more out of his Griddy if he wasn’t holding his helmet and shoes while he was dancing. Hopefully, he will get to repeat the dance with empty hands in the future…or with a football in his hands during the regular season.
