Zulgad: Assessing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first season as Vikings’ general manager

Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has had an eventful first year. @jzulgad looks at his tenure up to this point.

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made quite the first impression in his rookie season as Vikings’ general manager, overseeing a roster that won 13 games and its first NFC North title since 2017.

That was only the beginning as Adofo-Mensah, and coach Kevin O’Connell, begin to put their stamp on an organization that is coming off a busy offseason that saw longtime veterans Adam Thielen, Eric Kendricks and Dalvin Cook handed their walking papers.

With training camp set to open later this month, let’s assess the good and the bad from Adofo-Mensah’s first season, along with a move that will help determine how his tenure at GM is remembered.

We’ll do the same for O’Connell later this week.
