The Minnesota Vikings are currently at the NFL Scouting Combine looking to find the next future stars to wear the purple and gold.
Throughout the course of the week, teams will be allowed to interview players to help them make their choices easier when it comes time for the NFL draft in April. In essence, it’s one more piece of the puzzle.
On Saturday, the media was able to interview the offensive linemen and specialists, as they will be working out on Sunday afternoon.
Here are some of the main takeaways from those interviews.
DL/LB Interviews
DB/TE Interviews
QB/RB/WR Interviews
