Vikings 53-man roster predictions following 2023 NFL Draft
By Adam Patrick
Tight Ends (4)
- T.J. Hockenson
- Josh Oliver
- Johnny Mundt
- Nick Muse
As is the case with Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson is expected to cash in this summer with a lucrative extension. Hockenson became a favorite target of Kirk Cousins as soon as he arrived in the middle of the 2022 season and more of the same should be expected from him in 2023.
Josh Oliver landed with the Vikings in free agency this year and he should be able to make a significant impact for the team's offense next season as both a blocker and a pass catcher.
Johnny Mundt will be kept around for another year and Nick Muse will get a better chance to make some plays in 2023 after he wasn't on the field for a single offensive snap last season as a rookie.
