...it's a complete overhaul from last year's line. That's a good thing.
Age. Alex Boone was the only truly veteran player released. It still feels like the Vikings have gotten considerably younger. There are five players on the roster age 30 or older. Joe Berger (35), Kai Forbath (30), Tom Johnson (33), Brian Robison (34), and the ageless Terence Newman (38). Newman turns 39 tomorrow. That's crazy for a corner. Sam Bradford, Everson Griffen, Andrew Sendejo, and Marcus Sherels will turn 30 during the season.
Largest player: Linval Joseph, 6'4" 329
Smallest player: Marcus Sherels, 5-10 175
Depending on how you feel about the Pro Bowl, this is the last Sunday without NFL football for the next five months.
