Wisconsin product Joe Huber cracked the Vikings' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent, providing right-guard depth with pro-ready size. His development at Minnesota could influence how the Vikings deploy interior blockers and manage their guard rotation going into the season.

Huber, Cincinnati-Cincinnati Bearcats and Wisconsin Badgers alumnus, rode a strong preseason to a 53-man roster spot with Minnesota. PFF labeled him the Week 1 top undrafted rookie and he led Vikings interior run-blocking, earning a foothold as backup right guard. His durability and versatility make him a trusted depth piece who can contribute on early downs and in power schemes.

Huber is the standout UDFA for Minnesota, earning 94.7 PFF across 55 snaps at right guard in the Texans game. His Wisconsin starts (25 RG games) and Cincinnati stint under Luke Fickell frame him as a technically sound, powerful run-blocker with potential to push into the RG rotation behind Will Fries. His elevated grade signals a possible late-summer breakout that could influence roster depth and fantasy lineups seeking interior OL upside.

Huber topped the offense with a 94.7 grade, raising questions about the backup interior line and whether Walter Rouse could anchor left/right tackle while backup guards vie for the guard slot behind School. The performance hints at deeper depth-chart possibilities and potential practice-squad development for a guard who performed like a high-end UDFA out of camp.

Huber flashed solid early snap-work as part of Minnesota's depth workflow, contributing to the O-line’s budding depth and showing promising versatility behind the starters.
