Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary
Ahmad Moten is going to be the man to fill the role of disruptor on the Hurricanes’ defensive line with the departure of Rueben Bain Jr. to the NFL. Moten has so many of the same skills with violent hands, excellent pass-rush moves, and a motor that is unlike anyone else’s. He generates great power off the ball, and it allows him to bull rush his way into the backfield to create chas. He could find himself being a top 10 pick next April.
