The Minnesota Vikings have kicked off their rookie minicamp on Friday afternoon with a whopping 51 players hitting the practice field, most of which are practicng for the first time in an NFL uniform.

What's really interesting is the Vikings will also have six players on the 90-man roster who have been to a training camp before, including wide receiver Jeshaun Jones, who received one of the highest signing bonuses of the 2024 NFL Draft cycle with the Vikings.

Minnesota Vikings have 51 players participating in rookie minicamp
