Minnesota Vikings fans falling in love with a former Wisconsin Badger is some of the best content on the internet right now. There are levels to it for sure, but let's stay at the top level and talk about how impressive Joe Huber has been for the Vikings and how Minnesota fans are pumped about it, to the point that they are ready to see him replace their $88 million guard.

Undrafted Joe Huber is winning the hearts of Vikings fans and maybe even a spot on the 53 man roster
It helps that Joe Huber was also the top-ranked undrafted rookie through NFL preseason week one, according to PFF. They graded him out as a 94.7, which is elite. Fans were already warming up to Huber before that point, but this only continued to fuel their push for Huber to be part of the Vikings' future plans.
There are a few threads on X that should be highlighted regarding Huber's love, but the best come from Sean Borman, who is a reporter on the Vikings beat. He likes to post clips of Vikings players, and he has a few of Huber, and each time, fans are thrilled with the undrafted former Badger.
Such an instinctual lineman from these little clips

These are just some of the best of many to choose from. Huber has impressed the Vikings fanbase so much, and he's doing it both in practice and in games. If he continues the play he had in week one of the preseason, there's no way he doesn't end up on the roster. If the Vikings do decide to put him on the practice squad, there's a strong chance he gets taken by another team. Offensive linemen are in high demand around the league, and he's looking great so far.
Brown could make it to PS.

Hailassie is a hard one: T. Thomas has 1mil dead if cut and is good at gunner/st. Maybe keep Hailassie as CB6/SAF-Hybrid?
Joe Huber could absolutely make the team. Maybe there is a chance to get a 6th for Brandel and roster Huber?
The next game for Joe Huber and the Minnesota Vikings is on Saturday at 10 am against the New England Patriots. Stay tuned for some more Vikings love for the former Badger.
