- 2027 Summer Scouting Report: Lawson Luckie, TE, Georgia
Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota .
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 , or the Steelers . We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.

Player Summary
Lawson Luckie is such a frustrating watch because he truly is a good player, but Georgia does not use him nearly as much. He moves extremely well, with fluid hips and good footwork, and he turns upfield and builds momentum as a runner. His bread and butter is what he brings as a blocker, as Georgia has used him a lot to seal edges and facilitate the run game. In the NFL, he should be a better pro than college player, but for now, we have to hope the Dawgs unlock him in 2027.
