Minnesota Vikings rookie minicamp roster has fascinating group of invites, along with multiple veterans
The first set of practices are upon us, and the Minnesota Vikings will have a large group of rookies, and a fascinating veteran.
Each year, rookie minicamp for the Minnesota Vikings gives us the first look at the NFL Draft and group of UDFA signings. While we won’t get to see Caleb Banks as he heals from his foot injuries, the rest of the class will be practicing.
The event ends up with multiple players being signed, and Elijah Williams made the opening day 53-man roster. He will have a fascinating battle to make the roster. Along with rookies, there are multiple veterans joining minicamp, including quarterback Cooper Rush, who beat the Vikings in a start years ago.
Here is the entire roster for rookie minicamp.
