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.
