and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collard here and guess what?

I've gotten a ton more Minnesota Viking fan questions that they want answered

following the NFL draft and the UDFA period.

The Vikings picked up some interesting players and you guys have questions about that

along with big picture things and many other topics to discuss. I'm going to run through

great Minnesota Vikings fans questions in just a second, but first a little shameless

self-promotion. I just announced that I have written a book. It is about the history of pro football focus where I spent the last two years deep diving into the history of PFF what it does for NFL teams and where

it fits in to the analytics revolution and this book is available wherever you get books if you

want to go to Amazon if you want to click the link

below if you're listening to this on the podcast feed I will also include the link there for you guys to

pre-order it is coming out in October and I just have to apologize on the cover of the book is a

Philadelphia Eagles player I am aware of that there is a reason for that it ties into the entire story but I know for Vikings fans they don't exactly want to see

Zacharts scoring a touchdown in the Super Bowl but I promise you the book does not focus around too many Minnesota Viking rivals.

In fact, it includes an interview about pro football focus with Vikings general manager

Kewasy Adafel Mensa that's in the book. So if you are so inclined and want to check it out, go get it

pre-ordered right now. It's coming out in October. I know that's a while, but you've got all summer and

then you'll remember part the way into the

NFL season oh yeah that's right I got a cool book so that's the self-promotion now

let's get to your Vikings fans questions.

Let's start off with Dustin 5-52 on Twitter.
