Two linemen were making small talk last week in the Vikings locker room. They weren't discussing anything about football or their plans for the weekend.
They were talking about medicine.
Defensive tackle Chigbo Anunoby and offensive tackle Stephen Goodin both plan to attend medical school when their NFL careers end. Anunoby had heard Goodin already has gone through the application process, and was asking him about it.
"Yeah, that's not exactly typical talk (in an NFL locker room)," Anunoby said.
The odds are against Anunoby and Goodin making Minnesota's 53-man roster to open the season.
