Vikings prospect Babatunde Aiyegbusi has quickly become a media sensation

Babatunde Aiyegbusi's favorite movie is "Ray.'' He estimates he's seen it eight times.

So when the Vikings' suddenly very popular rookie offensive lineman was in Los Angeles last week for a taping of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," who was he sitting with in the green room? None other than Jamie Foxx, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles.

"It was great to see him,'' Aiyegbusi said. "I love the movie, I love the story, I love Jamie Foxx.''

Suffice to say, Aiyegbusi's life has changed quite a bit in the past month. The 6-foot-9, 345-pound tackle flew in from his native Poland for an NFL workout before signing with the Vikings on March 26.
