Vikes are dominating Undrafted free agency

Some of their notable free agent signings:

RB Albert Young Iowa

QB Kyle Wright Miami

CB Marcus Walker Oklahoma

WR Darius Reynaud WVU

OT Drew Radovich Southern Cal

WR Nate Jones Texas

K Steven Hauschka NC State

S Marcus Griffin Texas

LB J Leman Illini

CB- Brandon Sumrall Southern Miss


So what if they traded most of their picks for Jared Allen, a lot of these guys are high quality UDFA.

 

Makes sense, as there is plenty of opportunities to make the team through a good training camp

 

Here is the list of undrafted signees going to Minnesota. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Vikings this year...hopfully crushing thier way to the NFC North title!!!

Well, the feeding frenzy for players that weren't selected with any of the draft's 253 picks has started, and somebody had better call Mr. French and/or Mary J. Blige, because the Vikings have made this a family affair.

According to Judd Zulgad of the Star-Tribune, here are the Undrafted Free Agents that the Vikings have agreed with:

Husain Abdullah S Washington State
Martail Burnett DE Utah
Leger Douzable DT Central Florida
Marcus Griffin S Texas
Steven Hauschka K NC State
Erin Henderson LB Maryland
Nate Jones WR Texas
Travis Key CB Michigan State
Jeremy “J” Leman LB Illinois
Tim Mattran C Stanford
Drew Radovich T USC
Darius Reynaud WR West Virginia
Brandon Sumrall CB S Mississippi
Marcus Walker CB Oklahoma
Kyle Wright QB Miami (Fla.)
Albert Young RB Iowa

Erin Henderson is the younger brother of Vikings linebacker E.J. Henderson, while Marcus Griffin is the younger brother of Tennessee Titan Michael Griffin. Erin attended the same college as his older brother did. Gee. . .you suppose the Vikings had the inside track on that signing?

Looking at where The Sporting News had each of them ranked, Reynaud was listed as their 15th best WR and the highest WR not drafted. Henderson was their 8th ranked outside linebacker. Leman was the #13 inside linebacker, and Griffin was the #14 safety in their listings.

Not sure how many of these guys are actually going to have a shot at making the roster, but it's good to see that the Beloved Purple didn't just sit on their hands after the final name was called out.
