Vikings Pushing Tempo in Offseason Workouts

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —

If the first few days have been any indication, new strength and conditioning coach Brent Salazar has put the players through the ringer.

“Everything is just a higher tempo,” said Vikings defensive end Brian Robison. “There’s no standing around or rest time.

“It’s get your heart rate up and get everybody moving,” Robison added. “If you didn’t come in shape, you’re not going to make it through the workout. Luckily for us, I think everybody came in shape.”

Players said Salazar, who was hired in February after nine seasons as an assistant in Kansas City, grabbed their attention right away.
