The Vikings kicked off their 2021 rookie minicamp on Friday at TCO Performance Center, and reporters like myself were on hand to observe an hour of the practice session. The day also included Zoom press conferences for six draft picks and recent second-year acquisition Shane Zylstra.
Although there wasn't too much to see, here are some notes from the afternoon session and the day's pressers.
Minicamp roster and tryout players
The Vikings' minicamp runs through Sunday and features 31 players: 16 on offense, 12 on defense, and three on special teams. All 11 draft picks are included, as are all 11 of the team's priority UDFAs. The other nine players are Zylstra, third-year QB Jake Browning, second-year QB Nate Stanley, second-year offensive lineman Blake Brandel, and five tryout players.
