EAGAN, MINN. -- The Minnesota Vikings open 2022 NFL training camp Tuesday at the TCO Performance Center. Here's a closer look at a few storylines:
The most compelling position battle: Safety. We know veteran Harrison Smith will man one of the two starting spots, but the second will be determined through a relatively high-profile competition between first-round draft pick Lewis Cine and second-year player Camryn Bynum. The Vikings didn't draft Cine to be a backup, and top picks often have the edge in position battles. Entering the draft, the Vikings were especially impressed with Cine's ability to diagnose route concepts at the snap, in addition to his hitting ability and speed.
