Minnesota Vikings: Hall of Fame Game is far from meaningless

The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game tonight, but don’t expect to see Adrian Peterson, Le’Veon Bell, Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown or even James Harrison. Instead, both teams will use tonight’s contest to see what the young players on the roster have been able to accomplish this offseason.
