Brian Asamoah made a college career of playing bigger than his body, and he’ll try to continue to do the same as the linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings.
The former Oklahoma Sooner was taken off the board with the No. 66 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft on Friday night. He’s expected to serve as a boost on the defensive side of the ball for a unit that has clearly struggled in Minnesota.
Size obviously isn’t one of Asamoah’s strengths. The fact that he is undersized is the reason why he fell down the board in the first place. Teams are worried he lacks the power to consistently shed blockers at the next level and get to the ball-carrier.
