A Vikings 53-Man Roster Projection as Training Camp Begins

Training camp begins today. Or, at least, the rookies are arriving at TCO Performance Center to get things rolling. Offering up a Vikings 53-man roster projection therefore feels appropriate.

I’ve offered a guess earlier, doing so for PurplePTSD in the spring. Included here is the second edition. There will be a third and final educated guess just before the cuts take place at the end of August. Feel free to hit me on social media, that god-forsaken land, with your opinion of what’s right, wrong, or at least debatable.
