Former Vikings offensive lineman finds a new home in Houston

Hopes were high for Matt Kalil when the Minnesota Vikings used a top five selection on him in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Vikings figured he would be a fixture on the left side of their offensive line for at least 10 years.

Now entering his seventh season in the NFL, Kalil hasn’t played for Minnesota since 2016 and he already seems to be on the last legs of his pro career.

He was released by the Carolina Panthers on March 14 and now the former Vikings offensive tackle has actually found a team that still wants to give him another shot.
