The Minnesota Vikings host the Houston Texans in the first preseason game for both teams. It might be preseason but it’s the first football, or football-like, game for so long. I’ve been waiting for this since this day since the Vikings 2024 season came to a dreadful end against the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs. That was eight long months ago. The Vikings fixed a lot of things since that sad game. They spent the offseason fixing the offensive and defensive lines. While this game against the Texans won’t show much of those fixes, I’m looking forward to seeing what I do see. Here’s a list of those players I’m most excited to see.
J.J. McCarthy - Of course. It always starts with the quarterback
Jordan Mason
Rondale Moore
Tai Felton
Lucky Jackson
Ben Yurosek
Will Fries
Donovan Jackson
Dallas Turner
Javon Hargrave
Jonathan Allen
Ivan Pace Jr. - I always want to see what this maniac does.
Kobe King
Isaiah Rodgers
Jeff Okudah
Dwight McGlothern
Zemaiah Vaughn
Theo Jackson
Jay Ward
Oscar Chapman
Silas Bolden
Myles Price
Sam Howell
Max Brosmer
Zavier Scott
Tre Stewart
I probably didn’t need to list players individually as I’m looking forward to seeing whatever I see of all 91 players on the roster. Several of the above probably won’t play. I’m excited to see Justin Jefferson and any inactive players on the sideline. The lucky Vikings fans attending training camp have seen these players for a couple weeks. Other than scattered highlights, this is the first time for me. It’s exciting. Vikings football, even preseason Vikings football, is exciting.
SKOL!
