He was 78. The Minneapolis native had battled Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. His friend and former Vikings teammate Bob Lurtsema said he had been in hospice care. Sunde, taken out of the University of Minnesota in the 20th round of the NFL draft, played for the Vikings from 1964- 74. He was a starter for most of his tenure, and made the Pro Bowl in 1966. “He had a big, warm heart,” said Lurtsema, a Vikings defensive lineman from 1971-76. “I was lucky to play with a man of his character. He had a great work ethic and you respected that. And when you respect that as much as we did, you can say, ‘We loved the guy.’ He had the utmost respect of everybody on the team.” Sunde played in Super Bowls after the 1969 and 1974 seasons. He remains the lowest-drafted player to make the roster in Vikings history, and that won’t change. The last 20-round draft was in 1966; the draft now is seven rounds. “Milt didn’t make mental mistakes no matter who he played against,” Lurtsema said. “He knew exactly what players on both sides were going to do. He didn’t guess, he knew.” Sunde is survived by Barb, his wife of 54 years, his brother Edward, four daughters and eight grandchildren. PUBLICATION: Pioneer Press DATE: 4/23/20 Draft depth at various positions will affect how active Vikings are with trades By Chris Tomasson It’s a good draft to be in the market for wide receivers and cornerbacks. It’s not such a good one to be looking for offensive tackles and defensive ends. Since those positions are among the Vikings’ top needs entering Thursday’s start of the three-day NFL draft, they will deliberate how that factors into decisions to trade up or down or to stand pat. They will head in holding the Nos. 22 and 25 picks in the first round, the No. 58 selection in the second round, plus nine other picks. “What we’re going to be looking at in the first round and second round is the depth of the positions of some of these areas,” general manager Rick Spielman said. The draft begins with the opening round at 7 p.m. Thursday. The second and third rounds will be held Friday, beginning at 6 p.m. The final four rounds begin at 11 a.m. Saturday. The draft will be televised on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network. The wide receiver class is so deep the Vikings could afford to not take one in the first round and still get a potential starter in the second round or beyond. At cornerback, the two top prospects — Ohio State’s Jeff Odudah and Florida’s C.J. Henderson — are sure to be gone by No. 22. There’s a good-sized group of cornerbacks expected to be taken late in the first or early in the second round. They include Utah’s Jaylon Johnson, TCU’s Jeff Gladney, Clemson’s A.J. Terrell, Alabama’s Trevon Diggs, LSU’s Kristian Fulton and Auburn’s Noah Igbinoghene. “There’s enough depth in this draft where you don’t have to address (cornerback in the first round),” former Vikings defensive back Corey Chavous, a draft analyst for DraftNasty.com, said Wednesday. “There’s going to still be some quality personnel later on.” However, Chavous said that hardly precludes the Vikings from taking a cornerback late in the first round.

  • Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49Ers Vs
    Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Football Team Do you have any updates on QB Alex Smith? “Yes, what happened was Alex developed some tightness and muscle soreness as he was pushing off that right leg. As we ended the half, they took him in to get x-rays. The x-rays were fine. There was no issue there, but he had the soreness and it was tight. So we decided not to have him go back out there in the second half. We had them there in case of emergency, he stayed on the sideline, stayed loose and tried to loosen it up, but it just stayed tight. He couldn't get it loose. In an abundance of caution, we went with [QB] Dwayne [Haskins Jr.] in the second half.” What can you say about your defense and the performance they had in this game today? “It was pretty exciting. They did a lot of good things. They really stepped up and helped out. I know there's some issues that [Defensive Coordinator] Jack [Del Rio] is not happy with, but Jack's expecting an awful lot from those guys as we all are and those guys rose to the occasion.” Over the last few weeks you’ve talked about how DE Chase Young was staying patient when he was being double-teamed and triple teamed when he was held sackless. For him to have the performance he had after you’ve told him to not get frustrated and to wait for that moment.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.
