Minnesota Vikings: 3 players who will be must-see TV in preseason

The Minnesota Vikings have a ton of young talent thanks to some recent deep draft classes. Which players are must-see TV in preseason action?

The 2021 season is a critical one for the Minnesota Vikings. This is a team that spent a lot of money and put a lot on the line by acquiring free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins in the 2018 offseason. That move, along with an already strong roster, was a signal fire that this Vikings team believed it was firmly in a championship window.

Those beliefs were validated with an overtime playoff win against the New Orleans Saints in the 2019 postseason, but the Vikings missed the playoffs entirely in 2020.

They finished a very disappointing 7-9 and third place in the NFC North. Vikings fans were undoubtedly hoping that Aaron Rodgers would not be returning to the Green Bay Packers throughout the 2021 offseason.

Alas, Rodgers is back, but the Vikings stand a pretty decent chance of getting back to the playoffs whether they are second place in the NFC North or not. If they’re going to do that, they’re going to need some new and/or young players to really step up in a big way.

Let’s take a look at a few of those players that will be must-see TV in the preseason, starting with their game on Saturday against the Denver Broncos.
