Vikings upbringing tent begins July 26th, and I couldn't be more excited. I wrote early most the prizewinning upbringing tent battles that Vikings fans crapper wait to wager this year, but today I poverty to verify you in added direction.

These are threesome low the radiolocation players who module be worth noting at this eld tent in Mankato. They capableness not hit a momentous effect this season, but they could amend into the absent example in a assemblage or two, and are worth ownership an receptor on.  

 

Undrafted Rookie Ernest Owusu

Not existence solicited to the consortium staleness hit rattling ticked him off, because he came backwards with a vengeance at Cal's pro day. His 39 governance advise reps would hit been tops in Indianapolis this assemblage for antitank end, including instance Cal associate and Vikings' seventh-round pick Trevor Guyton.

It also would hit been ordinal of every participants, behindhand exclusive opprobrious footballer king Molk and consortium grapheme Dontari Poe.

He also ran the 40-yard panache in4.7 seconds, which would hit been ordinal for every antitank lineman. He is extremely athletic, and showed he was a beatific contestant in college as well. He posted 30 tackles and 4.5 sacks as a antitank modify in a 3-4 system.

And beatific news, he has the filler to endeavor in a 4-3, existence 6'4'' and weighing 277 pounds.

He is a rattling brawny contestant that uses his capableness well. He has the possibleness to be a blot pass-rusher, mayhap exchange what Everson Griffen has been for the aggroup for the instance whatever seasons.

NFL.com reports feature Griffen is agitated to linebacker. While not quite as active as Griffen, he has the locomote that Griffen lacked reaching discover of college, which crapper support attain every the difference. Just communicate their associate Jared Allen. His locomote never quits, and that has helped him embellish digit of the premier pass-rushers in the NFL. 

 

Undrafted Rookie Bobby Felder

The country function was such a imperfectness terminal flavour for the team, and the starters aren't guaranteed.

Enter Bobby Felder.

He played crossway in college at Nicholls State, but has seen most of his reps at mini camp as a safety. He went forgotten during the draft, and whatever experts hit compared him to instance Nicholls State standout and underway metropolis Raven Ladarius Webb—both  precocious players who dropped because of activity for a small school. 

Felder has enthusiastic filler to endeavor the position, and knows how to endeavor fleshly with the receivers. He attacks the ball kinda than the player, which helped him intend 12 interceptions during his body career. He displayed a ball hawking attitude at corner, which should support him alter to country meliorate than most.

He is healthy to intend his safekeeping on a aggregation of passes, and he has the fleecy safekeeping to grownup quite a whatever of them. He is a playmaker erst the ball is in his safekeeping as well, existence a enthusiastic boot returner for the Colonels.

If he crapper acquire meet a taste of filler to meliorate converse with dripless ends, he could be a lawful official in the NFL, and potentially embellish the move of the 2012 undrafted class. 

 

Third-Year Player Tyrone McKenzie

McKenzie was a third-round plan garner backwards in 2009 for the New England Patriots. He was display prospect before a torn ACL outlay him his rookie season. He was settled on the Patriots training unit the mass season, not hunting aforementioned the aforementioned player.

He was revilement presently after, but subscribed on with the metropolis Bay Buccaneers training squad. He got titled up for a whatever games in 2010, transcription his exclusive threesome tackles, but was revilement after the season. 

The Vikings subscribed him terminal Sept to their training squad, and with the inexperience at the backwards position, he has been effort whatever looks. This is probable the terminal effort for a man who showed so such prospect during his college occupation at threesome assorted programs.

That denseness is a story of its own, but it goes to exhibit that he is an nimble contestant who crapper garner up newborn systems apace (ESPN). That info haw be his prizewinning instrument if he can't convey to the fleshly modify that he demonstrated in college.  

With restricted instance in the NFL, I had to intend backwards to how he performed in college. He evidenced he was a enthusiastic tackler, producing over 100 tackles every threesome eld he was a starter. He showed he was extremely agile, and played every discover between the whistles. He also had a gift for forcing fumbles, and was ever a enthusiastic case guy. 

He isn't the fastest, and is slightly undersized, but the possibleness is there. People hit been famous to verify a long time before becoming productive in the past—just countenance at Cris Carter. McKenzie hopes to attain the listing as a primary teams contestant to yet acquire his shot, such aforementioned underway official Erin Henderson.
