The Minnesota Vikings just started their offseason program on Monday, April 17th. Players were back in the facility for training and meetings. It’s completely voluntary, but most players have a workout bonus tied to attending the off-season program.
One of the major benefits of the team being together is team bonding. Our own columnist Judd Zulgad is live at Xcel Energy Center covering the game and is reporting that the Vikings tight end room all attended the Minnesota Wild game together and chugged a beer on the scoreboard.

Teambuilding is a really important part of the offseason program and chugging a beer on the scoreboard was popularized by Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari when attending Milwaukee Bucks games.

Great to see Oliver bonding with his new teammates.
