3 Vikings undrafted free agents who could make 53 man roster

Yahoo Sports

The Minnesota Vikings signed almost 20 UDFA's. Here are three who have a real shot at making the opening day roster.

The NFL Draft is arguably the most important event during the offseason. Teams can be made through the draft, but there is still major value to be had by signing undrafted free agents. Once the draft concludes, anyone who was not drafted is free to sign anywhere they please.

Some notable UDFA's include Kurt Warner, Wes Welker, Warren Moon, and the Minnesota Vikings ' own John Randle. The Vikings would bring in close to 20 undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL Draft. While most of these players will either be cut or end up on practice squads somewhere, here are three players who have a shot at making the 53-man roster.

Dillon Bell, WR, Georgia If Dillon Bell refines his route-running technique, he could become a pivotal depth piece for the Vikings in 2026. His frame and open-field elusiveness make him an intriguing candidate to watch during training camp. It will be more interesting to see how Minnesota uses Bell, too, as a running back or wide receiver.

Scooby Williams, LB, Texas A&M This linebacker room is in a slight state of flux right now. There's the old guard of Eric Wilson and Andrew Van Ginkel, with young guys like Ivan Pace and second-round pick Jake Golday. Injuries have plagued Williams, limiting him to just six games last season, but he's a rangy linebacker with good feel in zone coverage.
