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.
Rasheem Biles is one of the more athletic linebackers I have watched this Summer as I work through the back half of the group. Compared to everyone else, his athleticism just pops off on film. He makes twitchy movements, quick decisions, and tracks the ball well. His size will come into question but the way he plays the position is just so much fun he makes you forget about it all. Going to Texas, playing in the SEC, it will be interesting to see how his speed showcases itself and what moves he makes in terms of the ranks.
