Vikings 2026 Outlook with Kyler Murray | NFL News

The Minnesota Vikings are firing on all cylinders heading into 2026, with Kyler Murray officially named starter to ignite a revamped offense led by new OC Frank Smith. Veteran backs, a stout line, and elite receivers like Justin Jefferson set the stage for explosive plays.

They’re reloading the pass rush with rookie Dallas Turner’s breakout potential, Tyler Batty, and Jake Golday—all poised to pressure QBs. The rookie class shines: Golday, Domonique Orange, Charles Demmings, and Caleb Banks are all making strides.
