EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Although organized team activities are well underway, the focus is slowly shifting toward the 2016 regular season.
That means the release of Sports Illustrated’s offseason power rankings, which were conjured up by Chris Burke.
Burke tabbed the Vikings at No. 6 in his rankings. Minnesota was the third-highest-ranked team from the NFC.
Burke mentioned a pair of rookies and a deep offensive line unit as keys to the Vikings offseason.
