PS- For the fourth time in less than 25 years, the Minnesota Vikings have a tangible opportunity to boast one of their own as the league’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 1998, it was Randy Moss. Nine years later, Adrian Peterson bludgeoned the NFC North – and everyone else – to seize the trophy. And most recently, wideout Percy Harvin brought home the OROY bacon in 2009. That 1998 to 2009 stretch was truly remarkable for Vikings offensive rookies.
Teleport to 2020, and the pandemic season is hosting another timeslot for a Vikings rookie. This time, that man is a wide receiver from LSU.
