This is the only time we hear about him.

Edge rusher, defensive back and center are a few positions “worth monitoring” for the #Vikings to potentially add during training camp, per @StarTribune. pic.twitter.com/QlBwi6gDlr

There's a new ESPN article highlighting the issues with the Rooney Rule. It underscores the importance of Brian Flores taking his lawsuit all the way to a jury verdict. https://t.co/zl9ExGSmSX

OK, what's the deal with Aaron Jones and his sombrero? Does he take it everywhere with him? Seems like every time I see him he's got the sombrero.

Vikings rooters should find out no later than Aug. 23 that, presumably, Kyler Murray will start at quarterback in the regular season opener Sept. 13 against the Packers in Minneapolis. More later today at https://t.co/R5KKlk2BiZ

Jones grew up deeply immersed in Hispanic and Mexican culture in El Paso and wanted a unique way to represent his community. He initially bought a costume sombrero while at an away game in Dallas.
The Custom Fan Upgrade: After seeing Jones wear his costume hat, a Green Bay Packers fan named "Señor Cheese Head" reached out and gifted him an authentic, team-colored sombrero.
It became his signature pre-game headwear.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Wow, interesting. Was not aware of this. I think I probably have a dozen or more pictures of me in Mexico wearing a sombrero. Usually after a few shots of Reposado.

Tequilla is not my friend...

I think the Panthers starting OTs are also out or being held out? Tough start in Carolina...
A concerning early camp update… https://t.co/inZX3fwa4l

Wentz I think is here in case something doesn't go as planned. Meaning, I wouldn't be surprised if we told Murray we would trade him if he didn't win the job. I know I know, he is a guaranteed HOF starting QB.
Wentz just gives you that security if it is needed. It will be an interesting camp. I am looking forward to it.

You never want to hear about injuries. However, I can admit this, that is what worries me about JJ. Can the kid even make it out of camp... Not a great start with the injury bug unfortunately
We currently have two posts with the word "tidbits" in the subject line. This needs to stop immediately. 🤣

Its always somewhere in the back of my mind too...You cant make the club if...Ah hell, we know how the rest goes.
He's certainly had his fair share of snake-bit. He wasnt injury prone in college that I recall?
Maybe it'll be like Robert Smith who suffered with earaches and tonsils - but then thats not exactly ligaments and structure stuff.
I sure hope he's not made of glass. For his sake and the teams.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
