Two Minnesota Vikings players are included in Pro Football Network’s list of the top 100 players.
The Pro Football Network’s Top 100 players list shows how much more work the Minnesota Vikings’ roster needs to do before it can contend in the NFL. The team isn’t exactly loaded with elite talent.
Justin Jefferson, the best receiver in the NFL, is the best player on the Vikings roster. Jefferson can make amazing contested catches, locate open space, and trick opposing defensive backs thanks to his exceptional body control, outstanding ball tracking, and spatial awareness. There is not a single weakness with Jefferson.
Minnesota’s third-year left tackle Christian Darrisaw is the only other player listed by PFN. Although Darrisaw’s rankings vary widely among NFL observers, it’s possible that he will further solidify his reputation in the coming season.
Darrisaw was sixth in the NFL in terms of ESPN run-block win rate and second among all tackles in PFF grades. Although his best attribute, finishing, was once thought to be a weakness coming out of college, his space athleticism has proven to be a great asset. That was partially related to the injuries he sustained while playing for Virginia Tech, but it was still a significant concern for the offensive lineman that has been greatly allayed in his favor.
