Vikings highlight under-the-radar offensive players heading into training camp
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings prepare for training camp next week, focusing on their quarterback competition. In addition to Justin Jefferson, three other offensive players are expected to play significant roles this season. Demond Claiborne, drafted 198th overall, could rise in the running back depth chart as Aaron Jones ages and Jordan Mason's workload is uncertain. Blake Brandel returns at center after a solid performance last season, with his health being crucial for the offensive line's stability. Rookie Max Bredeson, positioned at fullback, aims to make an impact as a versatile H-back option for the team.
