Top Vikings players to watch
The Vikings’ passing attack runs through superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who remains a dominant force following his lucrative contract extension. He lines up to catch passes from young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is stepping into a crucial role orchestrating the offense under center.
On the defensive side, the front seven relies on the explosive talent of edge rusher Dallas Turner to pressure opposing quarterbacks. The unit is further bolstered by rookie defensive lineman Caleb Banks, whom the front office selected in the first round of the draft to anchor the trenches.
