The Minnesota Vikings' 2025 season brings elevated expectations for several players, but some might be facing unrealistic pressure. Jalen Nailor, a promising wide receiver, must navigate a crowded receiving corps with new QB J.J. McCarthy. Jonathan Allen, a significant defensive acquisition, has had his production dip recently, raising concerns about his ability to meet expectations after leaving the Commanders. Byron Murphy Jr., fresh off a breakout season with seven interceptions, may struggle to replicate that success, given the heightened scrutiny that comes with a lucrative contract.
