The Minnesota Vikings finished up their final day of offseason team activities Thursday, before they meet again on June 9 for a few days of mandatory minicamp. Then, it’s summer break at TCO Performance Center.

While coaches and executives hold their breath for what kind of trouble Jordan Addison will get into this summer, before training camp, Nolan Teasley will be acclimating himself to Eagan facilities, after being officially introduced as the team’s new general manager on Wednesday.

One thing that became very clear during Teasley’s introductory press conference yesterday was his no-nonsense attitude. How that will be passed down to players on the roster, both in good and hard times, is yet to be seen. But it was made clear yesterday by Mark Wilf that Teasley is the new man in charge out in Eagan.

And the new man in charge made bulking up the wide receiver room with more depth his first order of official player personnel business on Thursday, signing 2026 undrafted free agent wideouts, Michael Briscoe (Cal Poly) and Trayvon Rudolph (Tulsa).

Meanwhile, Treyvon Rudolph (an illinois native) played four seasons at Northern Illinois, before transferring to Toledo for his senior season. While at NIU, 5’10”, 187 pound wide receiver caught 151 passes for 2,032 yards and 10 touchdowns in 42 games with the Huskies.

In his one year at Toledo, Rudolph totaled 39 receptions for 435 yards and 2 touchdowns, before going undrafted. It’s worth noting that Rudolph also returned a total of 76 kickoffs for 1,686 yards and two touchdowns between his time at NIU and Toledo.
