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

Kewan Lacy helps make this running back class complete, as it gives them nearly a handful of options for teams. Several may be looking to find their solution at the running back position, and Lacy could be one of those options. He makes defenders miss, handles a large workload while remaining durable, and keeps his balance through contact. I wish he got more work as a receiver, but for whatever reason, he hasn\u2019t yet. He has the style to be really productive in that department when a team decides to use him more that way.<\/p>\n
