There are important NFL players and then there are the players who shoulder the fate of their teams based on day-in, day-out performance during the season. These are the latter. Here are the 3 Players Who Will Make Or Break The Minnesota Vikings' 2015 Season.
QB Teddy Bridgewater
Bridgewater was dazzling for large chunks of his rookie season, posting just under 3,000 yards and 14 touchdowns in just 13 games. The natural talent is there as well as is the innate will to win, so we're only seeing big steps forward in his future during his second year under center. With a wide array of fun weapons to play with including Mike Wallace, Cordarrelle Patterson and dynamic rookie Stefon Diggs, Bridgewater's not only going to improve in 2015 -- he's going to make "The Leap."
WR Mike Wallace
Speaking of Wallace, his play will be vital to the Vikings' offense. He's one of the fastest players in the NFL, and his ability to take the top off the defense will be important for making other receivers open and creating more running space for Adrian Peterson. If he can get back to being a lethal deep threat, Minnesota's offense could become unstoppable.
RB Adrian Peterson
With his return to team OTAs, the Vikings suddenly have one of the league’s premier offensive stars back in the mix. An angry Adrian Peterson will likely be a determined Adrian Peterson, and that will lead to opposing tacklers being strewn everywhere with their jaws agape and their heads hung low. Peterson has carried Minnesota's offense since Brett Favre retired, and the Vikings need him to return to form for them to reach their full potential.
