Last season was a rough one for the Minnesota Vikings in terms of the offensive line. Two new faces came to the team’s offensive tackle positions through free agency and a rookie draft pick jumped into the starting lineup at the center spot.
Add to the new faces the fact that injuries placed Nick Easton on injured reserve and forced the team to try different combinations to fill the hole at left guard, including pulling the right tackle to try him in the spot.
Still, despite those issues, the Vikings ended the season ranked number 13 in pass blocking efficiency according to a recent article on the Pro Football Focus website.
