4 Vikings players whose stock has fallen ahead of their 2023 training camp

Greg Joseph hit a number of last-minute field goals for the Vikings last season. But, overall, Joseph's performance in 2022 was terrible.
Despite his struggles last season, Minnesota still re-signed him earlier this year. Even with Joseph returning, some assumed the Vikings would at least sign another veteran kicker or draft one to compete for the starting job.
Minnesota didn't do either of those, and instead, they signed former Georgia kicker Jack Podlesny, who went undrafted in April.
Things could potentially change, but it doesn't sound like Joseph felt any real heat from Podlesny this spring. The rookie missed a bunch of kicks on the Vikings' second day of minicamp earlier this month, and things will likely have to improve significantly in training camp and the preseason if he's going to take Joseph's job before the start of the regular season.
