--LB Vinny Ciurciu has switched from No. 50 to No. 54. The latter number had been worn by LB Dontarrious Thomas, who signed with San Francisco as a free agent. Erin Henderson, an undrafted free-agent linebacker, has been assigned No. 50.

--The Vikings had a three-day rookie minicamp last weekend (May 2-4) at their Winter Park facility in Eden Prairie, Minn. The team's five draft picks, as well as 16 undrafted free agents and several players signed to tryout deals were in attendance.

--The Vikings announced players will report to training camp July 23 at Minnesota State, Mankato. The first practice is scheduled for July 25; camp will break Aug. 15.

--Former Vikings Pro Bowl offensive lineman Randall McDaniel has yet to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame but he was recently elected to the College Football Hall. McDaniel was one of 15 players to be selected. He played for the Vikings from 1988 to 1999 and retired after the 2001 season.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"It's a surreal feeling. I still don't think it has hit me yet. I can't even describe it. Every morning I wake up sometimes I have to remind myself that I am an NFL player. I imagine it will hit me later on down the line, but I'm just enjoying the moment right now." -- Safety Tyrell Johnson, the Vikings' top pick and a second-round selection in last month's draft.

Add former Oakland and MVP quarterback Rich Gannon to the people at Winter Park who look for quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to have a great 2008 season. "I'm excited. I got a chance to go out there a little bit, and I watched -- really, I wanted to ...(more)

I heard this the other day and it was so funny to me i felt i should share it.

A teacher in a classroom asked her 2nd grade class, how many of them were Packers fans; well, all of the hands went up except for Suzy. So the teacher asked Suzy, why she didn't raise her hand. And she said because my parents are ...(more)

By spending more than $70 million on new talent, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is telling Coach Brad Childress that his third season better include a playoff berth. Unless Tavaris Jackson doesn't improve a lick, the Vikings have the team to beat in the NFC North. If Jackson continues to make strides along with runner ...(more)

With the last pick, the Vikings got Jaymar Johnson. He is kinda small, but is one of the quickest and most shifty WR in the class. Very Explosive.

He was the BEST in his class in the...

60 yard shuffle

This tells us he has VERY great quickness. He must

(POLL) I'm bored with T-Jack and Booty, and I'm really bored with those boring packer posts, so I'm asking which backup Viking linebacker will have the greatest impact on the Purple this coming season including special teams. I'm going to leave off Vinny Cirutu, and Heath Farwell because I consider them strickly special teams players.

Heres a little fun. Try and guess who the Vikings will pick in rounds 2,4,5. Who ever gets the most correct will win something really "tight"....Something that Tstanford will REALLY appreciate.

Round 2- Trevor Laws DT Notre Dame
Round 4- Marcus Monk WR Arkansas
Round 5- Kirk Barton OT Ohio
