Vikings draft prospects: RB/OL interviews at NFL Scouting Combine
The Minnesota Vikings are currently at the NFL Scouting Combine looking to find the next future stars to wear the purple and gold.
Throughout the course of the week, teams will be allowed to interview players to help them make their choices easier when it comes time for the NFL draft in April. In essence, it’s one more piece of the puzzle.
On Wednesday, the media was able to interview the linebackers and defensive linemen, Thursday was for the defensive backs and specialists, and Friday was for the quarterbacks and wide receivers.
On Saturday, we heard from the final group in the offensive lineman and running backs. We also got some critical measurements from the quarterbacks.
