Youth Gone Wild: The Vikings Have the NFL’s Youngest Offense

The Minnesota Vikings offense under head coach Mike Zimmer takes a lot of heat from some fans as an “archaic” product.

But if that so-called antiquated scheme will again be on display this Sunday, it will be effectuated by the NFL’s youngest offense.

That’s right – by the numbers, the 2021 Vikings own the most youth on offense. Defense is a different story, but even that group isn’t obscenely old. The level of youth was discovered by OverTheCap.com, and Minnesota is actually the youngest bunch offensively by a relative longshot.

You wouldn’t quickly scan the Vikings offense in your brain and think youth gone wild, yet the numbers confirm it.
