The Minnesota Vikings rank 13th in ESPN's evaluation of NFL teams' under-25 talent, an improvement from 21st last year. Key players include 23-year-old G Donovan Jackson and Edge Dallas Turner, who is stepping into a starting role this season. The Vikings are noted for significant young talent despite past criticism of their draft classes.
