Another Hometown Talent? A Former Minnesota Gophers WR Is Available if the Vikings Want Him

This week, the Minnesota Vikings added a couple local products by signing both OL Sam Schlueter out of the University of Minnesota and FB Zach Ojile of the University of Minnesota-Duluth to their roster for the summer. The move came following the weekend’s rookie minicamp where the duo came in as tryout invitees.

If the Vikings want to continue this trend of adding hometown talent, there is another former Minnesota Gophers WR that is back on the open market after the Las Vegas Raiders released Tyler Johnson this week.
