Vikings show strong interest in another top QB prospect
The Minnesota Vikings are doing their homework on quarterback prospects ahead of the upcoming NFL Draft.

The Vikings have two picks in the first round of the draft. They have their own pick at No. 11 and added the No. 23 overall pick in a recent trade with the Houston Texans.

Most expect them to draft a quarterback either with one of those two picks or by packaging both to move up higher in the first round.

One quarterback that the Vikings are interested in is Michael Penix Jr. According to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, Minnesota sent its entire staff — including head coach Kevin O’Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah — to Seattle for a private workout with Penix on Thursday.


The #Vikings flew out their whole staff for a private workout with Michael Penix Jr. in Seattle, including HC Kevin O’Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, sources say.

I’m told Penix has a top 30 with the #Raiders today, who currently hold the 13th pick in the draft.
