Summer is here, 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.
Nick Marsh has a chance to thrive and take a giant step in his development this year at Indiana. What I saw on his film from Michigan State was a wide receiver who thrived on making cornerbacks try to stop him physically when they couldn’t. That won’t always work in the NFL, but right now it will. Indiana will allow him to showcase his technique, body control, and awareness. It all adds up to him being a potential first-round pick in next April’s draft, or being a day two selection as he projects right now.
