Bykowski hoping head start helps

Carter Bykowski was a late-season add to the Minnesota Vikings last year, and this year there is more competition at his spot than ever.

Carter Bykowski is a player to keep an eye on as training camp and the preseason continue to move forward. He was a late add to the Minnesota Vikings roster in 2014 when the team placed linebacker Michael Mauti on the injured reserve late in the season, picking Bykowski off the San Francisco 49ers roster to fill the vacant spot.

Since he was added so late in the season, he didn’t have time to learn much of the offense and therefore didn’t get any playing time.
