Summer is here, 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.

Player Summary
Ellis Robinson IV is the next great Georgia secondary defender to enter the NFL. They have been a factory for the safety position, but Robinson might be the best corner of the Kirby Smart era. He just finds the ball at an elite level, he has the size and length you want for the position, and he moves extremely well. On top of it all, he has the size and speed to handle NFL talent no matter the route. He should be a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft at this point.
