Ivan Pace Jr. Leads Vikings in Tackles During First NFL Preseason Game

The undrafted rookie is earning his way onto the field.

CINCINNATI — Ivan Pace Jr. has been the star of Minnesota Vikings training camp and shined bright under the lights with a team-high six tackles (four solo) in the Vikings' 24-13 loss to the Seahawks.

The linebacker was like a speeding bullet on a few plays and was there for the taking the entire 2023 NFL Draft, with no one selecting him. All he's done since is stick to his work and earn first-team reps throughout training camp so far.

Ivan Pace has obviously been the talk of the #Vikings Training Camp

Something he did in college that translated to the game last night is his nose for the ball.

"Undrafted. Undersized. Just 230 pounds, he's a heat-seeking missile. Talk to anyone there--he's been one of the real standouts of @Vikings camp."
