Who Is the Vikings New Rookie Kicker?
The Minnesota Vikings will reenter familiar territory this summer at the kicker position. Dan Bailey, a kicker that appeared in 46 games for Minnesota, was not welcomed back for 2021.
So, the Vikings will have another true-blue kicking competition, comprised of two players — Greg Joseph and Riley Patterson.
Joseph is a veteran, spending time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 when Tom Brady’s squad won a Super Bowl over the mighty Kansas City Chiefs. All told, Joseph has attempted 20 field goals in his career while connecting on 17 of them. Based on a smidgen of experience, Joseph is probably the “frontrunner,” but that should not be considered ironclad.
Who’s the other guy?
