The third day of training camp for the Minnesota Vikings brought a special guest to the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center.
Former Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter made an appearance on Friday, prompting a post from the Vikings’ Twitter account.
Now an NFL analyst, Carter played 12 seasons with the Vikings, totaling 12,283 receiving yards and 110 touchdowns. In 2013, Carter was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
On Friday, however, Carter was a spectator to some impressive plays from Vikings wide receivers, including a catch from Justin Jefferson with a 360-degree spin in the air.

The video also included a clip of Justin Jefferson making a catch over the defensive back on a deep throw by quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Jefferson is only in his third season, but he’s already establishing himself as one of the best wide receivers in team history. Jefferson was named the Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year last season after finishing with a league-high 1,809 receiving yards, his third over 1,000 yards.
