The Minnesota Vikings currently have 12 wide receivers signed to the roster. Last year the Vikings carried five wide receivers during the season, and I wouldn’t expect that to change. I believe the most intriguing player in the group is second-year WR Jalen Nailor, which is why I want to look at Nailor’s role in 2023.
A sixth-round pick out of Michigan State, there were no great expectations for Nailor in his rookie season. However, he made the roster and suited up for 15 of the 17 regular season games, making it onto the field with the offense on six occasions.
