Vikings Mandatory Minicamp Preview: QB Competition, Skill-Position Battles, Defensive Depth, and Special Teams — Tyler Forness and producer Dave preview the Vikings’ three-day mandatory minicamp as the final major offseason event before training camp, outlining key storylines to watch. They focus on the quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy, noting a small chance the job is decided this week and discussing how media reports, drills, and press-conference “between-the-lines” clues may shape perceptions, plus trade-related implications. Forness also explains why Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby’s injunction removes a potential supplemental-draft option. They highlight battles for RB3 (Demond Claiborne) and WR depth behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, with attention on Dillon Bell and Dontae Fleming. They expect limited OL intrigue beyond backup center, emphasize major DL depth questions (Caleb Banks, Domonique Orange, Isaiah Loudermilk, Elijah Williams), discuss linebacker and secondary competitions, and note a punter/holder battle (Brett Thorson vs. Johnny Hekker).
