Think he ran a 4.8 or 4.9 40. Pretty slow for a ILB, but 40 times are so overrated. Sadly that 1 test can drastically change your draft position and signing.

He's a playmaker with drive and instincts that can't be taught and he'll get an invite or sign.

Remember, Lenoir was a last second rookie mini camp add to Chicago and wasn't offered a spot and then Dallas. Didn't run the 40 time scouts wanted and he's on the cusp of potentially making the 2 deep this year. Been getting lots a praise.

The Vikings would be a great fit if he can make the squad. Could be a instant special teams guys and they rotate a lot of linebackers to possibly give him some playing time in a year or two or if injuries pop up.

Mike Zimmer was on the sideline at Hanson Field as backup Redbird QB my first fall at WIU (1974). No, my memory is not that good but I put 2 and 2 together from Wiki and the WIU Football Record Book.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Haven't seen anything on Holloway, but thought he'd get an invite. Looks like he had a few pre-draft workouts.

I know he was only a one year guy and he playing time seemed to decrease the last half of the season, but hope he gets a shot as well.

I'm a Bears fan, but I can definitely root for the Vikings when they're not playing Chicago. Purple and Gold...awesome stadium...good fans.

Well, if Favre can go from Green Bay to Minnesota, I suppose so, too, can Taylor. They are both Brett's after all 8-)

Was looking to see if anything was said about Brett and the first day of rookie mini camp and see Judd was invited as well.

Craig James from Southern, 3 from NDSU, 1 from SDSU, Jared Farley and Karter Schult from UNI, who spent some time with Cleveland last year. Chad Beebe from NIU as well.
