Each and every year, the Minnesota Vikings have a handful of guys that make enough noise during the preseason to earn a spot on the team’s final roster. Guys like CJ Ham, Adam Thielen, and Andrew Sendejo all took advantage of their playing time in the preseason to be among the Vikings’ final 53 as they were beginning their careers in the NFL.
This year is more of the same. Minnesota has played three exhibition so far in 2018 and a number of unknown players are making their presence felt.
Most of these guys on the bubble don’t get a ton of time on the field each week, so making the most of their opportunities is very vital in them having a chance at getting a spot on the Vikings’ final roster.
