Vikings' Charles Demmings is letting his play in camp speak for itself
· Yahoo Sports
One of my favorite parts of training camps is seeing the rookies who step up in a major way, making play after play. These kinds of moments, stacking positive days, are a surefire way to earn a spot on the 53-man roster and potentially earn playing time early in their career. One Minnesota Vikings rookie is doing just that, except he is making waves nationally.

Charles "Chuck" Demmings, Minnesota's fifth-round pick out of Stephen F. Austin, has created a lot of noise in camp, going up against the 1s in practice and more than holding his own. The Athletic's Alec Lewis wrote on Demmings and his standout camp recently:
“Demmings’ positive reception in Minnesota has coincided with strong play. Through seven training camp practices, few Vikings players have made more eye-popping plays. Last weekend, Demmings broke up a pass intended for superstar receiver Justin Jefferson, and he swatted away another directed at receiver Tai Felton on Wednesday.”
Demmings has been a breath of fresh air in this secondary and fits seamlessly in this Brian Flores defense. Demmings is a physical man-to-man cornerback who loves to talk when he wins a rep, something this group has desperately missed over the last few years. It will be exciting to see him in action this Saturday against the Giants.
