Way more dangerous. You know the FDA still hasn't approved it, right?? Nor the USDA (that's for Jimmy, lol).

I remember watching his draft day call on Youtube.  The kid was crying so bad he could barely talk.  Then he gets shot.  You have to root for this guy, even if he is PS bound at best this year with Pierce/Tomlimson/Richardson/Watts/Lynch already at DT in front of him.

So does that tell us how much they valued this dude? Subjecting him to waivers?

I suspect nobody will claim him.   If the Vikings still want him, they will likely be able to keep him.

Agreed. In fact, this is one of those unwritten rules type things. He'll make it through.

#Vikings rookie DT Jaylen Twyman headed for reserve/non-football injury list after he was shot four times in a D.C. shooting in June. By NFL procedure, he'll be put on waivers first. If cleared, that would mean he's out at least eight games.

“We plan on having him here through the season.”

— Spielman on Jaylen Twyman.

The GM adds he doesn’t think Twyman will play in 2021 as he recovers from multiple gunshot wounds.

#Vikings DT Jaylen Twyman cleared waivers, goes to reserve/non-football injury list. Out at least eight games. Not rushing recovery, per Zimmer: "Any time you’ve been shot four times, you’re going to be a little bit, what’s the word I’m looking for, maybe nervous about things."
