Now with the Vikings, Max Brosmer is right where he’s supposed to be

3 days ago | bismarcktribune.com | Dane Mizutani

The disappointment of not being selected in the 2025 NFL draft didn’t last long for former Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer. As much as he would’ve loved to hear his name called last month, Brosmer suddenly had some options that he wouldn’t have had otherwise. There was a large part of him that was hoping to stay in Minnesota after taking a predraft visit with the Vikings. So when it came to where he was going to sign as an undrafted free agent, it was a pretty easy decision for him.

How the son of Vikings legend Randy Moss is stepping out from his dad’s shadow

It’s nearly impossible for Montigo Moss to avoid the questions. As the son of legendary receiver Randy Moss trying to make it in the NFL, his last name has been a topic of conversation at pretty much every step of his career. It was no different on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center in Eagan, as Moss found himself surrounded by reporters answering questions about his dad after wrapping up a practice with the Vikings. “It’s a weird feeling,” Moss said.

Though the Vikings entered the 2025 NFL Draft with fewer picks than any other team, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah still managed to fill some holes while simultaneously adding depth across the board. The draft picks included Ohio State offensive guard Donovan Jackson, Maryland receiver Tai Felton, Georgia defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Penn State linebacker Kobe King and Pittsburgh tight end Gavin Bartholomew.

If you’ve ever seen all of your friends head to a concert while you stay home because you couldn’t afford tickets, you have a general idea of what Bill Guerin has endured over the past half-dozen years. For the Minnesota Wild general manager, those frustrating fiscal shackles come off on July 1.
Vikings legend Randall McDaniel gives his take on rookie Donovan Jackson

6 days ago | inforum.com | Dane Mizutani

As soon as rookie offensive guard Donovan Jackson was selected by the Vikings in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, he started hearing his name in the same sentence as legendary offensive guard Randall McDaniel. It makes sense. It’s been nearly 40 years since the Vikings invested such premium draft capital into the interior of the offensive line.
Mizutani: It’s obvious the Timberwolves won’t need their best to win this series

It almost felt like the Warriors were begging to be knocked out on Thursday night at Target Center. They exited the locker room at halftime trailing by 17 points and seemed willing to lay down if they were forced to eat another haymaker. Instead, the Timberwolves gave them life, putting forth a stretch of play unbecoming a true contender. Is that being too hard on the Timberwolves considering they ended up winning the game by 24 points? Not if the ultimate goal is truly winning an NBA title.
