In EAGAN, Minn., Justin Jefferson marked his 2023 offseason debut on Tuesday during the Vikings’ mandatory minicamp kickoff. Post-session, Jefferson engaged with media personnel, revealing his involvement in various marketing campaigns alongside the voluntary workouts.

He also shared his training regimen in Miami and expressed anticipation for the upcoming training camp slated for the end of next month. This marked the fourth media-accessible session of the offseason. Vikings alumni, including Kyle Rudolph, graced the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, partaking in practice sessions and the customary barbecue lunch.

Here are three key takeaways from Tuesday’s minicamp practice, brought to you by Minnesota Eye Consultants, the Proud LASIK Partner of the Minnesota Vikings:

1. Jefferson’s Preparation Intensifies:
Jefferson’s on-field activities encompassed position-specific drills, 7-on-7 passing sequences, and full-team 11-on-11 repetitions. Displaying finesse, he effortlessly snagged a one-handed catch during individual drills and engaged in route running against defenders, sans physical contact.

Additionally, he fine-tuned his hand positioning during run plays. Despite moments of adaptation to the Vikings’ new strategies for the season, Jefferson’s efforts this week are poised to surpass his rookie learning curve in 2020, marred by canceled offseason programs due to COVID-19. The upcoming training camp promises ample opportunities for Jefferson to forge connections with Kirk Cousins, notably with joint practices scheduled with the Titans and Cardinals at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center.

2. Hicks Demonstrates Veteran Presence:
Linebacker Jordan Hicks showcased his seasoned prowess during a pivotal situational drill. Amidst a tight 21-20 score in favor of the defense, Hicks intercepted a pass intended for running back Alexander Mattison, halting the offense’s momentum. Hicks, instrumental in the 2022 season with Minnesota, continues to exhibit his astuteness, a valuable asset amidst a predominantly youthful defensive lineup.

3. Thomas Shines in Fast-paced Offense:
The situational drill witnessed quarterback Nick Mullens orchestrating a rapid offensive surge with the aid of undrafted rookie receiver Thayer Thomas. Despite Thomas’ relatively modest stature, his consecutive receptions, spanning 32, 17, and 7 yards, propelled the offense into field goal territory within a mere 31 seconds.

Although the drive culminated in a 31-yard field goal by Greg Joseph, Thomas’s contributions underscored his potential impact, alongside the impressive performance of undrafted rookie kicker Jack Podlesny, whose successful attempt ricocheted off the practice field camera pole, affirming his accuracy.
