Tulane punter Ryan Wright, 
Toledo running back Bryant Koback, Tulsa defensive tackle Tyarise Stevenson, Sacred Heart center Josh Sokol and Miami (Ohio) safety Mike Brown.
The Vikings offseason roster is now at the maximum 90 players following the additions of 10 draft picks and nine undrafted free agents.

Am I correct that Josh Sokol is the only true center we added? Let the Wyatt Davis to center rumblings start. I really like that we have a ton of IOL options to choose from so hopefully that creates enough competition to make the OL “Average”.

That Punter from Tulane. Big kid, big leg.  Ray Guy finalist.  Boomer.  Gonna give a big competition for the roster spot.

Oh great now Kwesi signed a Canadian villain too…!  :p

I believe the receiver from Virginia Tech, Tre Turner, signed with the Raiders.

Chris Reed played a lot of center in Indy and Jax. Wyatt Davis took snaps there last year. And Ingram had a few center reps at the Senior Bowl. I think the plan is to have one of those guys be the backup center.

Or win the job outright.

Unlikely, but certainly possible. I really like Ingram's size and ability to anchor in pass pro. I'm hoping they give him center snaps in training camp, because if Bradbury continues to struggle there, this could be the guy. 

Really good breakdown of Ingram here...

Don't know anything about him, but Luiji Villain has to be one of the great all time names.

Canadian defensive end Luiji Vilain signs with Minnesota Vikings: report

Canadian defensive end Luiji Vilain has signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent, according to Tom Pelissero. He went unselected in the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday.
The Ottawa native began his NCAA career as one of the highest-rated defensive line recruits in the United States following a stint at Episcopal High School in Virginia. He originally committed to the University of Michigan, where he recorded just eleven tackles and one sack in twelve career games due to injury.
The 23-year-old transferred to Wake Forest for his final college football season in 2021 and the decision paid off. He recorded 34 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, eight sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery, all of which were new career-highs.
The Canadian was a late riser in the NFL Draft process after a stellar pro day in March. Vilain checked in at six-foot-four and 255 pounds, before clocking a 4.75-second forty-yard dash with a lightning quick 1.57-second ten-yard split.
The Demon Deacon standout posted 21 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press while jumping 35-inches in the vertical and nine-feet, ten-inches in the broad. Vilain’s three-cone time of 7.01 seconds would have ranked him third among his position group at the NFL Combine, while his 4.25-second short shuttle would have been fourth.
The Toronto Argonauts drafted Vilain 25th overall in the third round of the 2021 CFL Draft in the hopes that the incredible athlete would fall into their lap early. It now appears that they will have to wait a little longer, if Vilain ever returns north of the border at all.
