Minnesota Vikings fits at combine: Purple Daily on Draft

The NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone but not without a lot of intrigue.

The Minnesota Vikings were in Indianapolis to see and interview a multitude of prospects try to earn their way into the National Football League. While the workouts are what are the most visible to the general public, how much do they actually matter?

It’s not to say that they don’t matter at all, but it’s not as simple as a fast 40-yard dash means they are either a good football player or going highly in the NFL draft. What do they mean? How do we put the 40-yard dash record for Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy in terms of his draft stock? Were there players that stood out in a good or bad way?

To end the show, the guys discuss the tampering comments from head coach Kevin O’Connell. What can we take away from those comments?

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Daily on Draft, dropping every Monday afternoon on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.
