For years, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman raved about his team's depth. Then he got fired because his backups, including quarterback Sean Mannion, weren't good enough.
This year's Vikings' roster appears shallower than an Instagram model. For that you can blame Spielman, or question his replacement, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
Spielman acquired a number of exceptional players, which is why the 2022 Vikings are loaded with stars. Safety Harrison Smith, cornerback Patrick Peterson, pass rusher Danielle Hunter and receiver Justin Jefferson could eventually make arguments that they belong in the Hall of Fame.
Adam Thielen, Eric Kendricks, Za'Darius Smith, Dalvin Cook are stars.
