So the big story heading into training camp in Minnesota may not be about if and when QB Brett Favre returns, after all.

Doubt it, we just need all the competition in the backfield we can get. Before signing Moats, Albert Young had the most experience on the Vikes roster after Peterson, with 12 total career carries.
