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
Jordan Seaton is an interesting study as there is a base to evaluate, but there is also so much more to see from him. At Colorado, the pass protector in him was pretty sound, but he was all over the place and seemed to lack much structure. Now with him heading to LSU, he has looked to be investing himself early on and he can showcase more skills he flashed at Colorado. He can have good hand placement to maintain leverage, generates power with his initial punch, and he has shown he knows how to use his size. Next year will be big for hm as he has top 10 pick potential, but a lot more has to be done to form him into that reality.
