Maple Grove Native Jake Wieneke Hoping To Stick With Vikings

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Jake Wieneke went to Maple Grove High School and South Dakota State. He wants to stay in the Midwest by making it with the Minnesota Vikings.

“It’s been amazing. I mean, it’s been such a blessing to just be out here with the Vikings,” Wieneke said. “It’s such a great organization, such a great team, and it’s been fun just coming to work and competing every day.”

That made last week extra special for the hometown product — a touchdown against Seattle in a fourth-quarter rally.

“That was awesome, man. That game was so much fun, and to go down and win in the fashion that we did was pretty special,” he said.
