"It's going to be a competitive camp." - Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores on the Vikings CB group
Jordan Addison declines giving specifics about his reckless driving incident last Thursday. Says it’s still a “legal matter.” Did say he learned from it and will make better decisions.
No Danielle Hunter, but both Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson were taking part in team drills.
Justin Jefferson laughed after practice today when asked about not naming Kirk Cousins among his top-5 QBs:
“Kirk knows what I think about him. He knows the connection we have together. He already knows I expect him to be the best QB, especially this year
Justin Jefferson talked today about practicing at #Vikings training camp without a new contract
“I mean that’s not the worries that I have right now. It’s really all about winning the Super Bowl… the contract will play itself, I’m just out here to play football.
Oli Udoh filled in at RT for Brian O'Neill.
Jalen Nailor got a decent amount of WR3 work.
Harrison Phillips seemed full-go after missing spring practices rehabbing.
Josh Metellus again very active in nickel and dime.
Other than one throw broken up by Camryn Bynum, Kirk Cousins was very sharp. Tight-window connections with TJ Hockenson, Jordan Addison and KJ Osborn today, amongst others.
Nick Mullens had a big connection to Trishton Jackson.
Akayleb Evans, Byron Murphy Jr. and Joejuan Williams were locked in as first-team CBs. Mekhi Blackmon and Andrew Booth with the 2s.
Ivan Pace got work as a second-team LB, which is positive for the UDFA.
Brian Flores said he expected the Vikings' CB position to be very competitive. So it was notable that UFA Joejuan Williams worked today with the ones alongside Akayleb Evans and Byron Murphy Jr. in the nickel. Wouldn't be shocked to see Andrew Booth Jr. and Mekhi Blackmon mix in.
