NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah
Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Buccaneers land versatile linebacker in PFF's 2021 NFL re-draft
The NFL Draft remains the second-biggest event in the NFL calendar behind the Super Bowl. Like it or not, it remains one of the biggest things fans and media enjoy revisiting to see "what could have been." Pro Football Focus has done a good job this offseason by starting a re-draft series that we have been tracking here on Bucs Wire. In their latest draft, they looked back on, it just so happens to be one of the more impactful ones in recent memory for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise: The 2021 NFL Draft. Coming off a Super Bowl, the roster was expected to compete for another with a returning Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Lavonte David. Jason Licht went for a home run and selected Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, which did not work out. Fast forward a few years, and the former Washington Husky is now with the Cleveland Browns. Ironically, that team is where we get the alternate pick for the Bucs in this re-draft in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. The versatile linebacker would be a dynamic pick for the Bucs, as Trevor Sikkema explains. "The Buccaneers had Devin White with Lavonte David in their linebacker room at the time of this draft, but as we now know, that was not for the long haul. They have since been searching for a long-term answer at linebacker. JOK posted single-season PFF WAR marks of 0.25 in 2023 and 0.25 in 2021, good for sixth best and 12th best at the position. He also earned a 76.0 PFF overall grade in three of his four seasons, as well as a 91.7 PFF run-defense grade in 2024. Owusu-Koramoah is set to miss all of 2025 with a neck injury, which does cloud his projection moving forward." Sadly, Owusu-Koramoah is now dealing with some injuries and is going to miss the 2025 season. He remains one of the more prominent young linebackers in the NFL, and at age 25, he is one of the best at his position.

The NFL's Surface tablets get an AI upgrade
The National Football League's ubiquitous — and oft-maligned — Surface tablets are getting an AI-infused upgrade, officials from the league and Microsoft tell Axios. Why it matters: The league is trying to give coaches faster access to the data they want, while stopping short of letting the AI make decisions. Driving the news: The NFL and Microsoft on Wednesday announced an expanded, multiyear extension to their longtime partnership. As part of the upgrade, Microsoft is providing teams 2,500 new Qualcomm-powered Copilot+ tablets leaguewide. The tablets, which arrived before the start of the 2025 preseason, allow coaches and players to use Copilot to quickly pull up video clips from specific scenarios such as scoring plays or those on a certain down. Zoom in: Coaches up in the booth will have access to AI copilots that help them navigate massive Excel spreadsheets to track things like personnel groupings and snap counts. In the past, coaches would track everything in the game using Excel, but often resorted to pen and paper to do their analysis of the data. The league is also expanding its use of Microsoft devices to help folks on the business side with game-day operations. Some teams, such as the San Francisco 49ers, have already been using AI to help with tracking wait times at entrances and concessions. (The league has let teams experiment with AI for non-football operations on game day but has, until now, prohibited on-field use.) Catch up quick: The NFL has been using Microsoft's tablets since 2014. There were initial glitches and frustrations — including a few memorable moments of players and coaches manhandling the tablets. "Whatever's in their hand is going to be the receiving end of the displeasure of the results," NFL deputy CIO Aaron Amendolia told Axios. Adding insult to injury, the Microsoft-branded tablets were regularly referred to as " iPad-like tools." The big picture: Harnessing massive amounts of data to make better decisions has been a trend in sports for some time. The key is to ensure the technology is reliable and equitable, Amendolia said. The NFL is also using AI to help identify unsafe plays and develop better protective gear and practices, in partnership with Amazon, as Axios showed off at last year's AI+ Summit in New York. Yes, but: The league — at least for now — is using AI to allow coaches and players to get to the information they want faster, but not allowing the technology to offer its own play call suggestions. Between the lines: The league hopes that the new devices relieve frustrations rather than adding to them. The primary goal of the tablets has always been to get teams more information faster. Coaches only have about 40 seconds between plays. Before the Surface, it used to take several minutes to see data on what worked and what didn't in a play. "There was this time lag that was preventing coaches and players from making faster decisions," Microsoft corporate VP Bryson Gordon told Axios.

Microsoft and NFL extend partnership, bringing AI and cloud tools to football sidelines and beyond
Microsoft Surface tablets have been a regular feature on NFL sidelines for more than 10 years. (Microsoft Photo) Microsoft is extending its longtime partnership with the National Football League, integrating AI and cloud tools into assorted workflows from the sidelines to front offices to stadium operations. The multiyear extension, announced Wednesday morning, will lean on technologies including Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI to usher in a 'new era of AI innovation across the league,' Microsoft said in a news release. The NFL and the tech giant first partnered in 2013 in a reported 5-year, $400 million deal, back when Microsoft wanted to showcase how Xbox could be used to watch live games and access fantasy football stats. Eventually, after a rocky sideline start, Microsoft's Surface tablet became the centerpiece, and it changed the game forever. In 2020, Microsoft and the league extended the deal, adding Microsoft's Teams collaboration tool to the mix for both teams and NFL staff. Now, the NFL's Sideline Viewing System — with real-time game data and analysis tools — has been upgraded with more than 2,500 Microsoft SurfaceCopilot+ PCs for 32 clubs, roughly 1,800 players, and more than 1,000 coaches and club football staff. Tech upgrades include: A new feature built with GitHub Copilot allows coaches and players to filter plays based on criteria such as down and distance, scoring plays, and penalties so they can analyze formations, decipher coverages, and make more data-driven and strategic decisions. A Microsoft 365 Copilot-powered dashboard helps club analysts in the coaching booth identify actionable insights faster to influence game strategies — such as personnel groupings and snap counts. Beyond the sidelines, AI could support roles like game operations managers with a Copilot-powered game day operations dashboard to better anticipate and plan such things as weather delays or technical equipment issues. Microsoft is also working to infuse Azure AI video tools during practice sessions to aid in reviewing coaching, evaluations and player injury assessments.

(GeekWire File Photo / Taylor Soper) 'Making sound decisions and putting players in the best spots on the field is a coach's ultimate responsibility,' said Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams head coach, in a statement. 'Microsoft Copilot enhances our efficiency and accuracy by breaking down complex data into digestible insights that can be quickly communicated to our players and help them realize their highest potential.' Earlier this year, Microsoft rolled out a new AI assistant within its NFL Combine App used by coaches and scouts. The assistant, powered by Copilot, lets scouts ask questions and instantly get responses about player statistics from the NFL Combine, the week-long event that lets teams evaluate college football players ahead of the NFL Draft. Beyond the NFL, Microsoft also works with other sports leagues including the NBA and LALIGA. The NFL, meanwhile, has key tech partnerships with Amazon across live game streaming and cloud-fueled 'Next-Gen Stats.'
