The first day of training camp practice is wrapped up for the Minnesota Vikings. This milestone is a key signifier that the 2023 football season is right around the corner.
In Minnesota, some questions surround the offense and their production due to the loss of long-time running back Dalvin Cook.
However, one way to qualm this doubt is to make early statements in training camp through the air. One amazing catch by newcomer Jordan Addison showed why he was the Biletnikoff Award winner at the University of Pittsburgh.
Not to be outdone, third-year receiver K.J. Osborn bolted up the seam and found a sliver of daylight between three Minnesota defenders. As you can see from the below clip, Kirk Cousins does the rest.

With the questions surrounding the offense after the departure of Cook, seeing Addison and Osborn play at a high level is key. Justin Jefferson will be receiving a lot of attention after the season that he had in 2022. Someone will have to step up when the double teams come. Seeing early success from the number two and three options should give Minnesota fans a reason to take a sigh of relief.
