Vikings to broadcast Monday's Training Camp practice LIVE
As we know, the Minnesota Vikings have officially started Training Camp in preparation for what will be a unique 2020 NFL season. Unfortunately, nobody is allowed to attend camp this year to give anyone an inside track on what might be going on. Now, the team is going to give us a little bit of a glimpse into what’s happening in Eagan.

Brett Favre would 'love to see' Aaron Rodgers on the Bears
Brett Favre finished his career with the rival Minnesota Vikings, so anything is possible when it comes to great quarterbacks moving on from the Green Bay Packers. Even Aaron Rodgers leading the Chicago Bears into Lambeau Field. Oh, I would love to see that,” Favre said Tuesday on Complex’s Load Management podcast.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Not wildly athletic or big, but Jefferson is a talented slot wide receiver for a team whose depth at that position had been pretty rough after the Stefon Diggs trade. Also has terrific hands and contested-catch skills.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Gladney is a Mike Zimmer corner. The Vikings did a lot of work on the CB class and came away impressed with Gladney's dog mentality – even if his size compromises his ability to combat taller receivers.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
It appears Trent Williams isn’t going to Minnesota after all. Cleveland looks and plays a little like Brian O’Neill, whom the Vikings took in Round 2 two years ago. But they needed the talent at the position, and Cleveland is likely going to play better than he did last year now that he's recovered from the ankle injury that hindered him early on. He has played both tackle spots and is a really nice athlete. Solid pick.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Dantzler is a lean, high-cut cover man who can press effectively and has a different body type than first-rounder Jeff Gladney. We like Dantzler’s aggressive nature, but he might need to be a bit more technically sound for Mike Zimmer’s liking once the pads go on. Dantzler’s 4.63 combine 40 hurt his stock, but it felt like that number didn’t reflect his athletic ability. Another fine pick from the Vikings here.
