Outstanding. Just my opinion, but I think that he has tremendous potential. He was very disruptive and had decent stats despite not getting a lot of playing time. I am looking forward to seeing the vikes with him and Robison at end. Now, can they find two dt’s that will cause us to make comparisons to the Williams wall?
