Vikings look to fix offensive line, protect Teddy Bridgewater

Free agency, the combine and the owners meetings are in the rear-view mirror and the draft is just a few days away. But it’s time to get back to football on the field. Here’s a quick look at the Minnesota Vikings as they open their offseason workout program Monday:

Biggest challenge facing head coach Mike Zimmer: Improving a porous offensive line was Zimmer's top priority this offseason, and the Vikings figure to spend much of the spring trying to figure out how they can better protect quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. New offensive line coach Tony Sparano should bring some much-needed fire to a group that Zimmer said didn't have enough toughness last year, and the Vikings have enough players in contract years that motivation shouldn't be hard to come by.
