Sid: Cockran waits for shot with Vikings

per Sid:

Theiren Cockran, the former Minnesota standout defensive end, is working to become the next Gopher to make a big impact with the Vikings.

He was asked what he learned from Kill that is helping him transition to the pros.

“Man, hard work, that’s definitely No. 1,” Cockran said. “One thing about Coach Kill is every day we went out on the practice field he always gave us 100 percent. He always had that expectation or us. So putting in extra work, doing overtime, those are the things he did and as players we all followed that. He showed us how to be men. The list goes on. He was definitely a great leader.”

He was asked how he’s transiting to a pro system.

“The scheme itself is similar, same 4-3 and I play on the left side on defensive end,” he said. “But here we drop in coverage more, work in things like that. It’s little things, different technique, small things like that.”
