RpMc Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'd expect that 4.8 to drop the further removed he gets from his lower body injury - explosive numbers are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though wasn't Rudolph's injury his last year at Notre Dame later in the year than Conklin's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why I expected Rudolph to be faster than his time - much different injuries though...

skywindO2 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 If we're comparing to Rudolph, we gotta mention the full arm tattoo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I don't know...Rudolph seems awfully slow...do we need another slow TE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle2heaven Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 12 minutes ago, Virginia Viking said: I don't know...Rudolph seems awfully slow...do we need another slow TE? This is my thought. DeFlippo wanted another TE; basically one the complete opposite of David Morgan. He most likely, signed off on this pick as a player he can work with and fit into that move piece that he likes for his offense. So if DeFlippo thinks he's fast enough, what do you think about that? Also take in mind he is coming back from a foot issue; so his playing speed last year before issue was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Perhaps the most eye-catching player Friday was tight end Tyler Conklin, whom the Vikings traded up in the fifth round to get in the 2018 NFL Draft. Conklin made his presence felt in both 1-on-1 and team drills as he caught everything that came his way. The former University of Central Michigan standout showed good hang time with a leaping grab while matched up against a linebacker, and also showed speed on a crossing route. He also hauled in a pass near the sideline and later corralled a pass in traffic during team drills. http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/3-Observations-Hughes-Conklin-Smooth-at-Vikings-Rookie-Minicamp-/c5abf6bd-97da-4eef-a224-39b3ffb19d63?sf188880823=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
