The Minnesota Vikings, along with several other NFL teams, started their offseason programs today with voluntary workouts. I would like to emphasize the word “voluntary” in this case because one particular player is not at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center and there will be people that make a much bigger deal about it than they need to.
You’ve probably heard by now that wide receiver Justin Jefferson is not in attendance at the Vikings’ workouts this week. Again, these are voluntary workouts, and Jefferson wasn’t with the Vikings for most of the offseason program last year, either.
