| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the episode. |
| 0:07.9 | We have waited a long time for the Minnesota Vikings have officially announced their 53-man roster. |
| 0:16.9 | But this year, we have to really emphasize initial 53 man roster because going through it, |
| 0:25.3 | there's a lot of areas where this thing should change. |
| 0:28.8 | So I am going to call it up here and we're going to go position by position, |
| 0:33.9 | look at everybody on the initial 53, what the biggest surprises were for guys who made the team |
| 0:39.6 | and some surprises for guys who did not make the team. So I'm not going to waste any time here. |

| 1:40.7 | their QB2. So they keep three quarterbacks, four running backs, Aaron Jones, |
| 1:46.8 | Ty Chandler, Jordan Mason, and Xavier Scott. So Xavier Scott was absolutely another guy that we |
| 1:53.4 | identified throughout this preseason and training camp that stood out for the Minnesota Vikings. |
| 1:59.7 | He caught the ball really well. He ran hard. |
| 2:03.2 | He made big plays in preseason. And it seemed like there was even a chance that they could cut |
| 2:08.9 | Ty Chandler and just keep Xavier Scott as RB3. Now, there still is a chance that they could make a |
