Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone\u2019s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings<\/a> fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, or the Steelers<\/a>. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.<\/p>\n

Player Summary<\/p>\n

Jordan Marshall shows a lot of promise out of Michigan\u2019s backfield in 2026. The team should look to use him more in the pass game because his movement skills and hands are fun to watch work in space. He also has some tools in his belt that he flashes, like his burst, long speed, and processing when getting the ball handed to him. Overall, he has some pieces to work with, and that makes him one of the more important players to keep an eye on in the Fall.<\/p>\n
