‘He Makes Learning Easy’: Vikings Up Front About Line Coach Rick Dennison’s Teaching Acumen

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Though the Minnesota Vikings have used either a first or second round pick on an offensive lineman in the last three drafts, they’re hardly settled up front.

Not since 2014, head coach Mike Zimmer’s first season with the team, have the Vikings opened with the same starting five as the year before.

There’s no better guide, though, particularly during this pandemic that kept the group from developing any on-field chemistry until training camp began about a month ago, than the only person on staff with a master’s degree in fluid mechanics: Rick Dennison.
