Wieneke, a native of Maple Grove, Minnesota, said this week that he is ecstatic about the opportunity to play for the Vikings.
“ It’s the best feeling in the world,’’ said Wieneke (via Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press). “ I get to stay with the team I grew up loving and I get to stay in Minnesota. It can’t be anything better than this.’’
Hill may be the most intriguing prospect of the bunch. The cornerback was suspended by Texas for the last month of the season for reasons that are still unknown. In terms of talent, he was regarded as a draftable player.
Meanwhile, running backs Thomas and Boone and fullback/running back Pettway have a reach chance at making the roster after the Vikings declined to select a running back over the weekend. After the departure of Jerick McKinnon, there are no other running backs to support Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray.
Jeff ran a 4.27 at his Pro Day
1:40 mark Mayfield under throws him then at 2:00 mark Mayfield sends it 60 yards in the air.Hmmmmmm

Don't we still have Mack Brown and CJ Ham? Either way, I like Pettway and Thomas so ...
NFL.com is showing they also grabbed QB Matt Linehan, son of old Scott.

did they sign him or just invite him to the tryouts?

I don't see anything to confirm either way. NFL.com just has him on the list with the rest of these guys and his ESPN stats page shows him with the Vikings.
Holton Hill and Roc Thomas are the prizes in this group. Mata'afa is the most interesting, but 254 at DT? I think he could make the roster because he will probably be a great ST player.

Why ever draft a guy like DJ Chark early when Jeff Badet runs a sub 4.3 and can be had as a Free Agent?
Some of these WRs are intriguing; Korey Robertson, Armanti Foreman, Jake Wieneke, along with TEs Tyler Conklin and Tyler Hoppes.
All of them have good tape.
Competition at Receiver is gonna be intense.
