As the Minnesota Vikings gear up for the 2025 NFL season, all eyes are on stars like J.J. McCarthy, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison. But beneath the surface lies a group of underrated players who could quietly make all the difference in the team’s playoff push.
One name that keeps surfacing among analysts is linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. Despite going undrafted, Pace proved last season that he belongs on the field with his instinctive tackling and relentless motor. Many in the Vikings community now believe he’s one of the best-kept secrets in the league.
On offense, tight end Josh Oliver is another name flying under the radar. While T.J. Hockenson often steals the spotlight, Oliver’s role in the run game and his reliability in short-yardage situations are invaluable. He may not rack up fantasy points, but his impact on the offense is undeniable.
Then there’s cornerback Mekhi Blackmon. After a strong rookie campaign, he’s on track to take on a bigger role in 2025. His sticky coverage and ability to read routes could make him a breakout candidate in a position group that desperately needs stability.
Finally, special teams ace NaJee Thompson continues to show why he’s a hidden gem. His hustle and impact on kick coverage often go unnoticed — but not by his coaches.
As the Vikings aim for a deep postseason run, these underrated contributors might be the ones who tip the scales. Don’t be surprised if they emerge as unsung heroes by season’s end.
