Daily Norseman: for Minnesota Vikings fans

If you could script the 2022 Minnesota Vikings season, would you have K.J. Osborn take another leap in his performance and skill? Is he capable of becoming a true wide receiver 2 in quality and production? How will the Kevin O’Connell offense use him? Will that make the difference? We hear about the Cooper Kupp role and how Justin Jefferson would be perfect for it. However, is there another way to divide that up to use both Jefferson and Osborn to their strengths and get even more production? There is an argument that says yes. The Vikings have continued to look for a solid punt returner. They haven’t had one since Marcus Sherels who was one of the best in Vikings history. Punt returning is one of the most difficult positions on the team. The ability to track a football that is spinning and tumbling in various trajectories, all while players bear down on you at full speed. After you catch that ball with little space, you need to decide in a split second what course of action to take so as not to get tackled.
