2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting: Ben Roberts, LB, Texas Tech
Another Summer scouting report is ready, this time on Texas Tech's Ben Roberts.
Summer is here, sort of, 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. Are we going to write about quarterbacks?
Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? 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.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.
