The NFL draft on Saturday saw the Minnesota Vikings announce their rookie class, but the team didn’t stop there. In addition to the seven players selected during the draft, including first-round picks J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner, the Vikings have agreed to terms with 17 undrafted players. These undrafted free agents come from a variety of positions and schools, including offensive lineman Matt Cindric from California, linebacker K.J. Cloyd from Miami, and wide receiver Jeshaun Jones from Maryland.
The Vikings are welcoming undrafted additions from schools like Kentucky, Toledo, Mercer, South Carolina, Arizona, Florida International, Arkansas, UCLA, West Virginia, Marshall, Air Force, North Carolina and Oregon. These players will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on the roster during the team’s upcoming rookie minicamp.
As the Vikings prepare to integrate these newcomers into life as NFL players, they are looking for these undrafted free agents to make an impact and contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming season. With a mix of talent from various schools and positions, the Vikings are hopeful that they have found some hidden gems amongst their undrafted additions who could prove crucial for their future successes on the field.
