“The Vikings do not anticipate tagging Sam Darnold” ahead of the tag deadline on March 4th and will let him test free agency according to @andrewkrammer.bsky.social of the @startribune.com on his guest appearance of Vikings Happy Hour

Watching Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks and I really like what I see.

Underrated vision and patience, super nimble on his feet. Fights hard for yards, handles pass protection well, and is a shifty runner.

His style reminds me of Jerick McKinnon.

Watching Georgia iDL Nazir Stackhouse and think he’d be a decent fit for the Vikings. Also his name is legit for a DL

Moves well for his size. Strength is evident, ability to push the pocket/take on double teams allowing edge rushers to feast.

Good run defender and space filler

Oklahoma St. RB Ollie Gordon III has some sneaky second-level speed.

He's not the fastest guy, but he’s quicker than you’d think.

Give him the ball in space or some open lanes, and he'll make plays.

Also, great downfield block by #5 here —love to see that from a WR!

I'd love to see the #Vikings bring back Aaron Jones on a one-year deal and draft Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson.

Kevin O’Connell has coached 2 of those teams in just his first three seasons

The Vikings need to extend KOC

- O’Connell: 2
