Jerome Felton continues to rep ahead of Ryan D'Imperio, who is on every special team. Definite chance they keep two fullbacks. #Vikings

Seems Lex Hilliard is ahead of Jordan Todman right now too. Another special teams guy. Depends what #Vikings want in No. 3 halfback.

Interesting.
@TomPelissero: Mike Priefer says "As far as I'm concerned, Percy is our No. 1 kick returner."

@TomPelissero: Ponder solid again in first team drill, completing 3 of 4. Now onto one on ones where Harvin and Aromashodu have won deep routes.
@TomPelissero: Manny Arceneaux has improved a lot as a route runner. Doesn't look like just a straight line speed guy anymore. #Vikings

@TomPelissero: Geoff Schwartz working in at RG with ones. Also D'Aundre Reed just did what he always does in practice -- speed rush, touch sack.

Huh.
@TomPelissero: McLeod Bethel-Thompson finally getting some team reps and just chucking darts. Dude has crazy arm strength. #Vikings

I recall Pelissero mentioning that Bethel-Thompson was the better QB in OTAs than Sage. Great arm and lots of upside, just a matter of if the Vikings want to keep a vet on the roster or not. Seems to think he has a good shot at finding a roster spot somewhere if the Vikings drop him.dead_poet wrote:Huh.

@TomPelissero: Nick Taylor has a shoulder injury. Suffered yesterday.
@TomPelissero: Frazier said with new CBA he can't give players a curfew tonight or tomorrow. He said he has given a suggestion. #Vikings

@TomPelissero: Frazier said Peterson's workouts are now being geared to simulate things he'd do in drill work. Next step is reactionary movement.
@TomPelissero: In other words, they need to find out how he moves when he doesn't know where's going, just like he'd be cutting in the run game.
@TomPelissero: Frazier said ideally he'd like Peterson to get some work in the preseason. "Now, will that happen? I don’t know." #Vikings#Vikings

And Tom Brady is fast? I would give anything had we picked Mllet over Ponder. But we may not know about Mallett for yearshibbingviking wrote: hope he makes it. i believe he is extremely slow like ryan mallet however.
