t5. Joaquin Davis (WR)<\/p>\n
Davis has impressed at Broncos camp in 2025. The wide receiver prospect boasts intriguing measurables \u20146\u20194\u2033 and 195 pounds, with a 4.36 forty-yard dash \u2014 making him a player to watch this summer.<\/p>\n
He may not make the 53-man roster<\/a> late in August, but based on the Vikings\u2019 skimpy wide receiver depth at the moment, he made the cut on the fastest players list just in case he\u2019s an active roster member in 2026.<\/p>\n The 6\u20194\u2033 height and 4.36 speed are desirable.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n t5. Dallas Turner (OLB)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve been tracking the Vikings\u2019 fastest players for about six years on this website, and this is the first time an outside linebacker has made the cut.<\/p>\n Of course, Turner got the nod because last year\u2019s speedsters \u2014 Chandler, Nailor, Jackson, and Moore \u2014 are no longer with the club. But it\u2019s still pretty impressive that a defensive lineman (OLB) is one of the team\u2019s fastest players.<\/p>\n At the 2024 NFL Combine<\/a>, Turner ran a 4.46 forty.<\/p>\n 4. Kyler Murray (QB)<\/p>\n Murray\u2019s speed at his Pro Day seven years ago clocked him at 4.44. He\u2019s also claimed to have run a 4.38, though those circumstances are not documented.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Regardless, the man is fast as hell and is one of the fastest quarterbacks in NFL history. He\u2019s instantly the fastest Vikings quarterback ever, and Minnesota got him this offseason for the NFL\u2019s version of free. Murray is likely to lead the team as QB1 in 2026. Fans cannot rule out his rushing prowess; he\u2019ll take off and run from time to time, and he usually ends a season with around 600 rushing yards when fully healthy.<\/p>\n On paper, Murray is somehow just as fast or faster than Justin Jefferson<\/a> and Jordan Addison. Wild.<\/p>\n 3. Myles Price (WR)<\/p>\n An undrafted free agent gem last year from the University of Indiana<\/a> \u2014 that means something now \u2014 Price grabbed Minnesota\u2019s kick returner and punt returner jobs by the throat last summer. He\u2019s the Vikings\u2019 new special teams ace.<\/p>\n Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price fields a punt and turns upfield during third-quarter action in an international matchup Sep 28, 2025, at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. Price handled return duties with quickness and vision, contributing in special teams during the Vikings\u2019 appearance in the NFL\u2019s International Series. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/p>\n It always felt like Price was on the cusp of breaking a return for a touchdown, transactions that were frequently negated by dumb penalties. Perhaps he\u2019ll get off the schneid in 2026.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Price is 24 and logged a 4.43 at his Pro Day in 2025.<\/p>\n 2. Tai Felton (WR)<\/p>\n Felton\u2019s speed? 4.37. The problem? The Vikings drafted him in Round 3 last year \u2014 and then barely used him on offense.<\/p>\n But as the other WR speedster, Nailor, left town in free agency last month, Felton profiles as the WR3 in 2026, so long as Minnesota doesn\u2019t draft another wideout early in the draft or sign a free agent like DeAndre Hopkins, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, or Deebo Samuel.<\/p>\n If Kevin O\u2019Connell ever decides to lean full tilt into using Felton on offense, he\u2019s got a speed demon on his hands.<\/p>\n Our Kyle Joudry wrote<\/a> about Felton last month, \u201cThe Vikings will still be leaning on personnel packages that feature three receivers (or more). Most commonly, there\u2019s 11 personnel, a pretty standard way of playing football in the modern NFL. In those instances, Mr. Felton could be the one who gets sent onto the gridiron.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cSinking a 3rd into him, a tangible action, means that Minnesota believes in Felton\u2019s potential. So, too, does the unwillingness to add someone to jump into the open WR3 spot tell us much. Look for Felton to get the first shot at showing he can get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n 1.
