Mandatory Camp Starts 6/9

Watched a few minutes of KOC's presser.....not sure why, as its just word salad really. But he was asked about the splitting the reps comment by Kyler and he seemed a little irritated by it, just a little because he had to address it. He knows he's got to name a QB1 pretty quick into TC and get that guy that majority of the reps....which he said but went on a long tangent about it, lol. Saying little.

Matt Daniels, are we sure we want to mess with what Will's doing? He has "another level to get to"? Really? After being 1st team All Pro, making 33 of 35 FG attempts, 100% inside 50, 100% on PATs, kicking a 62-yarder (a Vikings record), making his last 19 attempts and making 11 of 13 over 50 yards? You wanna tweak that?

I will take "Things to leave alone on the Vikings Roster for 2026" for $500, Alex

Thats impressive to hear about Thomas...
We'll see what people are saying during TC & PS.
I dont know how much he'll see the field on D rook year? I would argue S is probably the most complex position to play in a BFlo D, outside of LB/Edge.

Impressive might be an understatement. Let’s see if it carries over in training camp.

He could be even better when the pads come on.

I like that Jefferson speaks on Addison like hes on the same level as himself. People were so quick to trade him and some said pump the breaks. Dude is super talented on the field. I will take a route runner 10 times out of 10 over a high ceiling guy that "can be coached"

I get keeping him around as a warm, cheap body but if Tommy P is to be believed and the Vikings "still really like" Brosmer, I'd love to hear uh, why.

Raw on the football field, but u just cant teach IQ, maturity and commitment:

High Football IQ: Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell praised him as being "as smart as any young player that I've been around". Former trainers and coaches have called him a "football savant" who operates on an entirely different mental level.

Elite Preparation: He is known for extreme diligence in the film room. During the pre-draft process, he noted that he watched every single offensive play from his previous 13-game college season at least 12 times to study his decisions and register them in his mind.

Coachable & Mentally Mature: Trainers have highlighted his desire for detailed, constant feedback and his calm, emotionally mature mentality in high-pressure NFL environments.

==============================================

I dont know if Brosmer will stick with a team as even Qb2?

But if he doesn't ever make in an NFL 53? I think he's got the make-up to be a position coach...

I like to hear that Felton has put on weight. When he was drafted I thought they'd just redshirt him due to his size. At a little over 6-1 and 183 lbs, he was too skinny. If he can maintain his 4.3 speed with another 10 lbs, he'll hold up better. He's already got great feet, which shows up in his RAC.

The additional weight should help in punt coverage.

Yes, I’m still pissed at this pick.

Finally some film on Claiborne!

Maybe it’s just me, but I was underwhelmed by the OTA coverage.

I think we found ourselves a KR in Claiborne... Damn he has effortless speed.

I noticed that today watching everything. He is so fluid and his motion is smooth. Teams need a RB compliment like him on any team. Very excited for the kid.
