Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.Â
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.Â
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary
Jordyn Tyson is a tough study in an era where so many wide receivers make their evaluations so easy. Tyson flashes moments of brilliance with his YAC ability, the way he attacks the ball in the air, as well as his IQ when he is working without the ball in his hands. Then, there are moments where there are lapses in concentration, and they can result in costly drops at critical moments. 2025 will be a big season for him because if he can cut down on the drops, show some better separation ability, and have more consistent football IQ, we could be looking at a top ten pick come April.Â
