Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Albert Wilson announces NFL retirement today

Ask any NFL player what his goal is for the upcoming season, and the top answer is always to lift the Lombardi Trophy.

Simply put, it’s the mentality necessary to approach a job that exacts a mental and physical toll.

Coming off a 2023 campaign where they faltered down the stretch and underwent a massive quarterback overhaul, many aren’t considering the Minnesota Vikings contenders, particularly in a tough NFC North.

But safety Camryn Bynum was asked Thursday on NFL Network’s The Insiders what he sees as the Vikes’ ceiling in 2024.

“I expect a Super Bowl. Everybody says that, and everybody should say that,” he said.

“But you look at the guys on the team, you look at the locker room, all the experience we have.

Look how much depth we have, especially on the defense. So many guys.

It’s almost weird looking around, you’re like, OK how are we all going to get on the field? There’s just so many ballers.

“You look at the offense. There’s a baller at every position when you look across the whole board.

That’s why I’m confident when I say I expect us to be a Super Bowl team.

But really, our preparation has to tell it all. You say that every year.

Every team says that every year, but we have to put all these names and everything. We have to make it real.”
