V Lowe, pulling for him big time.

[Bullazin]

“Oh, what’s that you say? You like your offensive linemen to be tough as nails and an enforcer on the field. Look no further, Lowe is the real deal. He has been winning consistently during one-on-ones versus the defensive line due to his stout anchor and aggressive hand combat. Lowe plays through the whistle and you can see it begin to wear on some of his opponents under the Vegas heat. His physical, nasty demeanor, along with well-coached technique, power, length and experience all bode extremely well for his draft stock. A father of two, Lowe adopted his younger brother after his mother passed away and has been praised for his maturity. He projects as a potential mid-round pick with starter potential at the next level. “

Found this out in the webz, really hope this guy makes it and then makes it big. i read where he has high expectations for his kids, if that is done right its how they thrive. 

Kinda funny something called Leiweber said on the same site that he would not make the practice squad. Dick, lol.

Leiweber is an idiot. Said he's too tall to kick inside. If he were 6-8, that might be the case. He's 6-5 flat. Ridiculous. A lot of folks mistake height for length. He's mistaking length for height. Lowe has 35+ inch arms. 

He plays too high, but his character is supposedly off the charts. Great name too. Vederian. Sounds like a kind of sword steel forged with dragon fire.

Vikings rookie left tackle Vederian Lowe has overcome a lot already — outside football

Lowe juggled more than the average college football player while tying the Illini program record with 52 starts — most at left tackle — over five seasons at Illinois. He says handling fatherhood, the unexpected loss of his mother, Veneka Cockrell, and taking in his younger brother didn't extinguish his NFL dreams, but instead galvanized his will to reach them.
"He's probably motivated beyond what the normal rookie coming in is," Illini head coach Bret Bielema said. "This young man is already feeding two children and his brother and has others counting on him."


The Vikings heard a lot about the 23-year-old Lowe's maturity before scouts met him for the first time at the East-West Shrine Game, a college all-star game held in February outside Las Vegas. Intrigue about Lowe's size — 6-5, 314 pounds — and durability was coupled with rave reviews about his character from coaches and trainers.
"He's got enough athletic ability to function in a zone scheme, but also has the size and power to play downhill and move people off the line of scrimmage," Vikings national scout Chisom Opara said. "He's [also] a guy with an impressive background."
"He knows what responsibility is all about," Opara added, "and he's going to hit the ground running and may not have some of the hiccups that some of the guys without that background may have."
General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, in his first draft atop the front office, saw and heard enough to take a late-round swing.
"You read the story and it's incredible," Adofo-Mensah said. "How does somebody overcome adversity on the field? Well, you can't always observe that. But I know that somebody who has overcome adversity in life, I'm willing to bet on that person."
