Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman is clearly enjoying the life of sunshine and palm trees these days in Florida, but that doesn’t mean he stopped keeping a close eye on things in the upcoming 2022 NFL draft.
It was only a year ago that he was at the center of the madness as the head decision-maker of player personnel. This time, however, he’s been able to step back and watch everything as a spectator.
KSTP 5’s Darren Wolfson spoke with Spielman in an interview, and during an appearance on “Scoops with Doogie,” he said there was one player in particular the former GM kept coming back to when talking about the Vikings picking at No. 12 in the first round.
