Orange is a 2 sport athlete...

I caught up with rookie defensive lineman Domonique "Big Citrus" Orange for the first time in training camp yesterday.
He's one of a trio of rookies who spent the summer break in Minnesota training at TCO Performance Center.
You'll be able to read more about some of the lessons those three players learned from that soon, but I'll share what Orange said has been the biggest adjustment in becoming a pro: More free time because there's no classes to attend anymore.
So what's he done with those extra hours?
"I went to the Mall of America," Orange said. "It's pretty fun, I'm not gonna lie. ... It was fun just being able to see what Minnesota has to offer. All in all it was a good time. I'm glad Coach [Kevin] O'Connell decided to choose me to come here. I'm a real cool guy, I don't like to do much."

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
