The final name has been called at the 2024 NFL Draft but teams are far from done when it comes to acquiring talented young players for teams like the Minnesota Vikings. Several quality players in franchise history weren't selected at the draft but went on to have amazing careers.

Some legends and huge contributors come to mind when thinking of the best undrafted free agents to join the Vikings. Guys like John Randle, Mick Tingelhoff, Adam Thielen, Marcus Sherels, Robert Griffith, Chris Kluwe, and Ivan Pace Jr. have all made a name for themselves in a purple and gold jersey after not being drafted following the conclusion of their collegiate careers.

Will there be any gems among this year's undrafted free agent haul? Only the future holds that answer. However, being able to add talent to the roster without spending draft capital is a huge opportunity to improve the team at a minimal cost.

Which undrafted free agents did the Vikings add in 2024?

Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and the scouts in Minnesota were quick to make moves to acquire the top undrafted players. Here is a list of the reported UDFAs to join the purple and gold this year.

For the Vikings, getting some of the top talent that slipped through the cracks at the 2024 NFL Draft was essential. Quite a few of the undrafted free agents on this had pre-draft grades that made them likely or have their name called during the three-day event.

Other players coming to Minnesota in free agency have great qualities to offer the team or will be projects that the Vikings can see if they can turn into gems.

Congratulations to these undrafted free agents for reportedly joining the Minnesota Vikings. We wish them the best of luck in their professional football careers and should give them warm welcomes to the purple and gold.
