The Minnesota Vikings are expected to be one of the best teams in the NFL this season.

Generally, very good teams are a bit more seasoned than the Vikings are.

Per the Star Tribune, the Vikings’ average age is 25.47 years old, making them the youngest roster in the NFC and the third-youngest roster in the entire league (only Cleveland and Cincinnati are younger).

Certainly, the retirement of Terence Newman (40 years old) and release of defensive end Brian Robison (35) put the Vikings down quite a bit in age.

But this is a pretty cool thing for a Vikings fan and shows that this team has a big window of relevance in the league.

When you look at the core of this team, there’s plenty of room for improvement, along with an abundance of players in their prime.

Kirk Cousins is 30, Dalvin Cook is 23, and Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are 28 and 25, respectively.

Defensively, Everson Griffen is 31, Danielle Hunter is 24, Xavier Rhodes is 28 and Harrison Smith is 29.

Plenty to be excited about for a long time if you’re a Vikings fan.
