Minnesota Vikings 87-man Roster

On the eve of rookies, quarterbacks, and select veterans reporting to the team's facility for training camp, it's a fine time to take another look at the 87-man roster of the Minnesota Vikings. The unfortunate thing about the Vikings' 87-man roster is that there are 87 players on it. Due to the global pandemic, it looks like every team will have to trim their roster to 80 players before training camp even starts. And just like that, as many as 317 football players with NFL dreams will be without NFL jobs. It doesn't feel right but there are a lot of things aren't right about these times. Imagine if this country's decision-makers had made decisions closer to the right decisions from the start. We'd be a whole lot closer to back to normal. But that's another story. This story is about the players that will be arriving for Vikings' training camp over the next week.
