EAGAN, Minn. -- Anticipation mounted last week in Minnesota. The Big Reveal was imminent. Three months after hiring a general manager with an economics background, the Minnesota Vikings were about to find out how Kwesi Adofo-Mensah would run his first NFL draft.
As the first round approached, a reporter asked if he was looking forward to putting his unique signature on the event. Adofo-Mensah gently interrupted and said: "I hope they don't say it's my signature about anything. It's our signature. ... This is about 'we.' I'm not going to do anything for the sake of me or any type of perception I want out there in the public.
