Choose Oregon due to their relationship with Nike. Said he was going to work out, then said it was too long of a day to do all the drills.
I guess time moves differently for Hutchinson, Johnson, Walker et al.
imagine how he will be when he is paid and things don't go his way... falling

I thought this thread was going to be about current Vikings specifically Barr.
But you can add Pierce, Tomlinson as well to the overhyped, underperforming and oft-injured.
Hunter is two years oft injured but not overhyped but have to figure out the money. I won't even mention Kirk...oopps.
Theilen, Harry and maybe even Kendricks are on the downslide. I can see about 2 to 3 new starters on Off and up to 6 or 7 on defense. This is not a current roster where a few extensions and a few additions are making us a SB contender - IMO.
I see a new regime in a rebuild mode but we will learn a lot within a couple weeks.
