The pads were on and the sun was blazing Monday as the Minnesota Vikings kicked off a new week of 2025 training camp. Fans flocked by the thousands into TCO Performance Center to catch a first look at the team in full gear and full speed.

Asked earlier this week about the receivers he’d like to see step up after Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor, head coach Kevin O’Connell mentioned Rondale Moore, Tai Felton, Lucky Jackson and Jeshaun Jones by name. That would suggest Moore, Felton, Jackson, and Jones are at least slightly ahead of their peers at the moment.

McCarthy has impressed, Brian Flores' defense looks sharp and there are roster battles aplenty as the Vikings prepare to put pads on Monday.
