This was the kid that had the gruesome injury in college and the Cowboys still took him in round 2 last year of the Draft. When healthy, he was absolutely dominate. But he didn't play a down last year and I just saw some video of him at their camp this year: he's still limping. He's not right yet. I don't see how he's going to play this year as a starter. So that could be 2 YEARS with nothing to show for taking the 34th player in the Draft....that's an incredibly high gamble. Of course, the national media draft pundits gave Dallas major kudos for it at the time.

Its interesting.

  Vikings hope reporting early helps rookies contribute more than before...

Vikings hope early start helps rookies have fast startCoach Mike Zimmer's goal: Make sure these rookies are ready to contribute more than last year's rookies. MANKATO - Ifeadi Odenigbo turned to a group of unknowing reporters, asking where Vikings rookies were convening for dinner.
Odenigbo, the seventh-round pick, was one of 35 or so Vikings players to report early Sunday afternoon for training camp at the Julia Sears dormitory at Minnesota State University in Mankato. The NFL allows teams to set early report dates for rookies, quarterbacks and injured players for up to a week before veterans are required to show up.
These Vikings will get three extra days before veterans report Wednesday, giving rookies such as Odenigbo a chance to settle into their new homes for the next couple of weeks. However, Mike Zimmer’s decision for younger players to bid an early adieu to their summer vacations has a fine point — doing anything possible to make sure these rookies are ready to contribute more than last year’s rookies.
“I just felt like it was important,” Zimmer said. “I just felt like we wanted to try to get them up to speed as quickly as we can. Last year, a lot of the rookies didn’t play as much as they had in the past, so I just figured let’s give these guys every opportunity to get them up to speed a little bit quicker.”
This is Zimmer’s fourth training camp as Vikings head coach and the first time he decided to open camp early...

Dont spend it all at once XR!

It should be any day now that Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes, 27, receives a five-year contract extension that could be worth nearly $75 million.
