Kyle Rudolph career highlights top tight end welcome to Vikings

Very underrated. The only tight end in the draft that can block with the best of them and catch like a wide receiver. None of the other tight ends coming out the past few years can block like him except for Gronkowski, if they can block they can't catch. Never mind the times that he ran with a hamstring issue, watch the tape

this guy seems like a great player but do the vikings really need another TE?

[dwid1984]

@krullsk they will be running a ton of two tight end sets with Shiancoe the only receiving before they got Rudolph. Shiancoe is going to be 31 and not much left in the tank, so yes they could use another tight end., not to mention Shinacoe isn't a great blocker. Kleinheiser is but not a good receiver. Rudolph is both.

@dwid1984 As a Vikes fan my whole life I'm excited about Rudolph--even though I thought the pick was strange at first given our other needs--but I'm not hearing other people say that Rudolph is a great blocker. Rather the general consensus seems to be that that is the aspect of his game that needs work, though I'm guessing he has much more potential in that respect than Shiancoe (who is really only a receiving tight end, albeit a very good one). Thanks for posting the video though!

@bigtimepeace watch him play and decide for yourself. Pretty much everything i have read said hes a great blocker, inline blocker which is what most tight ends coming out of college lack today. The only thing I have read that said he needed work was from a few years ago. If he wasn't the complete package he wouldn't be the first tight end off of the board coming off that injury, but like Rob Gronkowski, he is the complete package

Instead Of Ponder They Shoulda Got Mallett

[fluxerflixer1]

Kyle Rudolph and Ponder will be hooking up for many years...! Ponder will love going to this guy who sucks in footballs like a vacuum cleaner!

[ceduncanson]

@krullsk not to mention but all of our tight ends are at the end of their contracts

I was going to say why didnt u put in very many highlight..... but then i realized that it would take a video to be more than a hour to show all of hi highlight.... because every play he does is a highlight.

[BretttDrewshow]

Rudolph is so dumb for going to the NFL, he should of waited one more year, and raise his stock and Notre Dame would of been complete.
