The Vikings are hoping a move to right guard will give Pat Elflein’s career the comfort level and kick start it needs after a backward slide at the other two interior positions the past two years.
“It’s something he’s had a comfort zone with before in his football life,” offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said Sunday. “We talked about that. ... Just a decision made through talking through the process, talking to Pat, talking about how we were going to get started when we got back.”
Elflein was primarily a right guard early in his career at Ohio State.
