Defensive ends Tashawn Bower and Ifeadi Odenigbo and defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson have each made plays behind the line of scrimmage.
First-year linebackers Elijah Lee and Eric Wilson have recovered fumbles, and Ben Gedeon leads the team with 10 tackles and six solo stops (according to press box stats).
“So far so good,” Bower said of the Vikings rookie class. “We’re all coming along and take coaching and all are down with the plays. We all hustle to the ball and we have great effort.
