2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Brice Pollock, CB, Texas Tech

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? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? 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.

Player Summary

Pollock is a tough eval because you see so much of his game that speaks to you as a first-round talent, but some small things need to be cleaned up. He is able to recover well, but I would like to see him not be forced to do that as much. What makes it so impressive is you can see him processing quickly, and the awareness he plays with make syou an instant fan. I will be eager to see how he does without as much pass-rush help in 2026.
