4 ‘Surprise’ Players That Could Start for Vikings in September

Onlookers to the team have theories as to who will start and where, firming up plans for the superstars like Dalvin Cook, Danielle Hunter, Eric Kendricks, Justin Jefferson, Harrison Smith, and Adam Thielen to assume their roles.

Yet, other spots aren’t crystal clear. The training camp and preseason events — which will actually happen this year, unlike last summer — will determine the fate of some wait-and-see position battles.
