The center, a Cretin-Derham Hall High School graduate and the son of former Vikings guard Corbin Lacina, signed with Minnesota last April as an undrafted free agent. Lacina, who starred at Division II Augustana (S.D.) University, has spent the past three months getting ready for training camp. Vikings rookies, quarterbacks and select other players report to the TCO Performance Center in Eagan on Thursday while other veterans will report next Tuesday. But Minnesota likely will need to let some players go next week when the roster is finalized for the start of camp. NFL teams usually are allowed a maximum of 90 players in camp, and the Vikings now have 87 on the roster. But to help with social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, roster limits are expected to instead be 80. TOP ARTICLES 1/5 READ MORE New Twin Cities restaurant patios and outdoor dining hubs to get excited about So, the Vikings likely will have to make moves on seven players. And most of those out-of-luck guys likely will come from a pool of 12 undrafted free agents that were signed. “I’m going to go in there and give it my best shot no matter what,’’ Lacina said. “It’s probably concerning, but it doesn’t change what I’m going to try to do in the field. I’m going to go in with the best mindset I can.’’ Even if he is among the 80 in camp, Lacina knows it hardly will be easy to earn a roster spot. “Every day is a concern being an undrafted free agent,’’ Lacina said. With that in mind, the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Lacina has been striving to get in the best possible shape. Between March and June, Lacina worked out at the family’s cabin up north in Park Rapids, Minn., after buying a bunch of weights on Craigslist. Lacina last month returned to his St. Paul home. Since then, he has been working out regularly at the Training Haus in Eagan. “I’m just really focused on getting in shape, because I figure if I show up out of shape, that’s not a good sign,’’ said Lacina, who last season won the Rimington Trophy for being the nation’s top Division II center and was a consensus All-America. Lacina long has had a dream to play for the Vikings. His father played in the NFL from 1993-2003, including 1999- 2002 with Minnesota. In addition to being a fan of his dad, Lacina grew up often wearing a Randy Moss jersey and had posters of the star wide receiver. “My dad has just been telling me that, going in there as an undrafted free agent, I’ve got to stand out,’’ said Lacina, trying to become the first son of a Vikings player to make a regular-season roster. “I’ve got to go in there and do my thing and impress someone.’’ Lacina won’t immediately get a chance to do that. After reporting Thursday, players that day will have a coronavirus test, will take Friday and Saturday off, and then will have another test Sunday. Those who have two negative tests will move forward on Monday. It’s uncertain exactly what day the Vikings might have to set an 80-man roster. And even if Lacina survives to start camp, the odds this year will be stacked against him even more than they usually are against an undrafted free agent. NFL teams didn’t have any on-the-field spring drills. And due to the coronavirus, there are not expected to be any preseason games. “I was definitely very bummed to hear that there will be no preseason games,’’ Lacina said. “Like everything, that’s not going to help undrafted free agents. … I just hope that I get a chance.’’ PUBLICATION: Pioneer Press DATE: 7/23/20 Kyle Rudolph’s only concern heading into Vikings’ season: ‘We aren’t able to finish’ By Jace Frederick Kyle Rudolph will spend much of his last few days off work at the 3M Open in Blaine. Rudolph is an ambassador for the golf tournament, which serves as a benefactor for the Masonic Children’s Hospital, a place near and dear to the Vikings tight end’s heart. Then, next week, training camp begins for the Vikings, and a season that faces many questions will get underway. Rudolph can’t wait. “I’m excited to get back to work. We want to get back to work. We want to play football,” Rudolph said Wednesday. “Sports can have such an impact on our country and us rallying together, going through these tough times right now. I believe we can do it safely, and we can get back to work and we can be something that brings this country back together through these tough times that we’ve dealt with. I’m excited that we can get back to work.” TOP ARTICLES 1/5 READ MORE New Twin Cities restaurant patios and outdoor dining hubs to get excited about Vikings rookies will be welcomed into the Vikings’ Eagan practice facility Thursday. Rudolph and the team’s veterans will join them next week. “They’ve got a process for everything to get going,” Rudolph said, “and I’m glad that process is finally starting.” Rudolph has been asked about his concerns heading into the season, and he insists he doesn’t have any about joining his teammates at the team’s facility, going through training camp, practicing or ever playing games.

  • 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.

  • Nfl Kicks Off Second Half As the Calendar Turns to November
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/30/18 http://twitter.com/nfl345 NFL KICKS OFF SECOND HALF AS THE CALENDAR TURNS TO NOVEMBER As the NFL season crosses the midway point, scoring remains at an all-time high, close games are the norm and players across the league are on record-setting paces. The NFL kicks off the month of November with action as close as ever. Through the first eight weeks of the season, 67 games have been decided by one score, tied with the 2012 season for the second-most in NFL history through Week 8 (68 in 2016), including six such games last week. Thirty-six of those games have been decided by three or fewer points, the second-most in NFL history through Week 8 (42 games in 1999), including three such games last week. There have been 5,834 points scored this season, the most in NFL history through the first eight weeks of the season, and the league’s 661 total touchdowns and 429 touchdown passes are both the highest marks in league history through eight weeks. One undefeated team remains, as the LOS ANGELES RAMS advanced to 8-0 for the first time since 1969 with a win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. The Rams are the 25th team in the Super Bowl era to begin a season with an 8-0 record and eight of the previous 24 teams to accomplish the feat won the Super Bowl in their respective seasons.
