Summer is here, 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
Christian Gray returns to Notre Dame in 2026 with a lot to prove in one of the country's best secondaries. Gray can be a physical corner in coverage, but where he makes his money is in deep coverage assignments and when he is asked to protect the line. He can provide run support as well as good coverage in the middle of the field or closing in on the flats. He isn't the star of the secondary, but he gets a lot of work being opposite Leonard Moore.
