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.
David Stone does not have a lot of production in the box score, but the film is hilarious to watch unfold for him. He sheds blockers with ease, he showcases his strength, and has leverage on most players he engages with. He could be in the NFL today, and I would think he would find success. He has a chance to produce much more in the NFL than he has in college at either the nose tackle spot or outside.
