Although Trae Waynes had an uneven performance, several Minnesota Vikings rookies had strong initial outings in the preseason open.
After spending the last couple weeks in Mankato for training camp, the Minnesota Vikings were able to open up the preseason against the Pittsburg Steelers in the Hall of Fame Game. From the first couple series of the game it was made obvious that the 2015 draft class was going to be making an impact on this team.
Both first-round pick Trae Waynes and fifth-round pick MyCole Pruitt got looks with the starters, even though both the offense and defense played in just one series.
