Moritz Boehringer drafted by Vikings in sixth round

The Moritz Boehringer saga has been a fascinating one to follow over recent months. And the Vikings were reportedly the one team following that saga with the most interest.

Just weeks ago, 22-year-old Boehringer was toiling away in total obscurity in the German Football League. Then suddenly draft experts started talking the kid up.

Before you knew it, Boehringer was flying over to America to participate in FAU pro day. At his workout, Boehringer posted numbers that would make any scout drool. The 6-4, 222-pound wide receiver ran a sub-4.4 40 yard dash and posted a vertical leap of 39 inches.
