Impressions from an unusual Vikings training camp

On the NFL Mark Craig

Observations from what definitely is the strangest of 23 summers covering NFL training camps …

With no preseason games and only nine out of 10 practices open to this observer, here are some pleasant surprises, some concerns and some areas that bear further observation:

• Everything about first-round draft pick Justin Jefferson is smooooth. The NFL-ready receiver should make an immediate impact whether he starts right away or not.

• Biggest concern? Danielle Hunter still not practicing. The Vikings say don't worry. Sorry, but until details are given or Danielle practices, worry, people.
