 Can you believe it? Football is back and for the 52nd and final time, the Vikings will take over Mankato for training camp. Rookies reported yesterday to their dorms and hit the turf for the first time this afternoon for practice. That includes their first pick, running back Delvin Cook, who have a lot of eyes on him this pre-season. But he's excited for the challenge and competition in the backfield. We're gonna push each other and I think the good thing about this backfield is we got some work horses in the backfield. We got guys that's gonna push each other to the next level and go get the best out of each other. So having those two guys in a meeting room with me is good, man, because they never let yourself get comfortable with yourself. So that's the good thing about us. Rookies practice again tomorrow afternoon. Veterans report on Wednesday, but still Rookies practicing and a full team practice on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 2.45 to 5.10.
