Vikings finally draft a Gopher!!!

Busy halftime for P.J.!

Sweet. Hopefully it sticks and he becomes a hometown hero.

They are going to the 3-4 and that might suit him well. May have to gain a few lbs., but it's great to see him get drafted.

Vikings suck a little less now.

On a scale from 1 to 10 they are no longer a zero.

Is it true that Tyrone Carter was the last Gopher drafted by the Vikings, in 2000?

Nate Triplett was the last Gopher drafted by the Vikings in 2010. Hope Nate is doing well in his battle.

I can show him how to put on a few pounds. I have gotten good at it.

We can be co-assistant weight gain coaches....

It would have been nice had the Vikings also taken Ko Kieft. But I am happy where he landed.

Esezi Rowtomewo. Prove everything great in the Gopher program..

 

[Ragnor]

I will definitely watch more Vikings games next year if he makes the roster!

Damn, that's so cool to see the joy and reward for all the hard work. Saw that big ass Minnesota ring on his finger too.

with the move to a 3-4 defense, I think Esezi could be a good fit at DE. I give him a good change to be on the opening-day roster.

which means that all of the KFAN gang that never pays any attention to the Gophers will have to learn how to pronounce his name.

It's pronounced Rowtomewo! They will learn.

I hope you're right that he sticks. Too awesome for a local kid to get drafted by the Vikes.
