Contract Status: Vikings Contract Chart

Analysis: Decent one-gap prospect at the under tackle spot or at left end in the Vikings’ scheme. Flashes some ability to penetrate and get upfield but struggles holding his ground and shedding blocks once he’s locked onto. Was productive in college, recording 38 tackles, 17 TFL, 7 sacks in 2002; 31-10-5-4 in 2003; 54-22-9 in 2004; and 33-9.5-5 in 2005. Vitals: 6035/286, 20 reps, 4.97-5.18 (40-yd), 31.5 VJ, 9-3 BJ, 4.31 short-shuttle, 7.53 long-shuttle.

College: A four-year starter for the Huskies who spent his first two seasons as a defensive end – registering 69 tackles, 27.5 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks – and his final two seasons at defensive tackle – posting 87 tackles 31.5 tackles for a loss and 14 sacks.

Personal: Recorded an astonishing 470 tackles with 47 tackles for a loss and 37 sacks in his high school playing career. Two-time conference defensive Most Valuable Player. Could be in line for a future Chunky Soup ad campaign, since his mother already work ready for the Campbell Soup Company.
