Wow, I thought the Raiders had already cut him. Former 2nd Round pick. Has some upside, but questions about his motor.
Pair him with Dre!
Sounds like the Raiders were going to cut him when the Vikings offered the conditional 7th rounder, likely to keep him away from waivers. Worth a look. Former 2nd rounder with some good athleticism and upside considering he's a small school kid and still only 25. Needs a fire lit under him.
I was a fan of his coming out... he drew some Aaron Donald comparisons from some of the media draft analysts. Ultra-productive small school player. Very athletic.
Nice to see us get an upside player at a position of need for basically nothing.
Moved from DE to DT. Quick off ball but slows down. Reminds some of Aaron Donald. My pick to be earliest non-combine invite drafted. https://twitter.com/Gil_Brandt/status/978369921485688832…
14 blocked kicks...plus athleticism...played 3 and 5t..
Shrewd move.
Former 2nd rounder for conditional 7th.
I like this new Vikings MO, create competition when any position is open.
After Pierce opted out, we needed another body at DT. At least this one has a pulse.
Reported overweight two years in a row...knock wood if you're not with me...
JMO, I don't think this kid will see the light of day and will be cut in a month or less.

Failed his physicalGuess I shouldn't talk. I haven't been to the gym since March 12th and I'm in the worst shape I've been in the last 20 years.
So, the new GM’s very first trade has FAILED...! ;) B)

@"Hawkvike25" said:Yeah, I just felt it was too quick for a team to give up on a 2nd round pick unless he was a lazy, out of shape dude with low effort.@"StickyBun" said: JMO, I don't think this kid will see the light of day and will be cut in a month or less.

Have they released the reason for the failed physical? Can they release that information due to HIPAA? I'm assuming he failed due to being out of shape but I dont know for certain.

I'm assuming he failed due to being out of shape but I dont know for certain.I've seen instances where teams release the reasons for failed physicals, but I'm not sure if it's due to known pre-existing conditions (For example - player blows out knee the year before. Comes back the next year and fails his physical due to that knee not being fully healed).
