Vikings | Hosack making impression through OTAs
Wed, 7 Jun 2006 15:00:14 -0700

Mike Wobschall, of Vikings.com, reports Minnesota Vikings WR Aaron Hosack appears to be performing well during organized team activities. Hosack has made numerous catches in traffic during the team's seven-on-seven drills. At 6-5, 210 pounds, Hosack is a big target for quarterbacks and appears to be a force against smaller defensive backs.

With Marcus Johson working with the 1st team & Rosenthal with the 2nd team, perhaps Childress has decided who he would like the starting RG to be.

I thought that was penciled in to be Artus Hicks....

Apparently there is a lot of competition for the Nickleback. That's always good to hear.

That's what I thought.. Johnson is going to be Right Tackle, and Hicks was traded in to be the starting Right Guard.

I would like to see Hosack crack the #4 WR spot, become the redzone threat

Yeah, that's what I heard too. I'd be surprised if Johnson wasn't our RT and Childress has basically told Hicks that the RG position is his to lose.

We should have a beastly line!

I'm a bit concerned about the duration of this abcess problem.

Usually with a drain and antibiotics it can take awhile to resolve.

But this appears to be taking a little longer than I would expect.

Anyone else concerned?

I wouldn't be concerned yet.

I thought I heard at the time that he may be held out 'till training camp but that they were hopefull that he may be able to partake in the last of the OTAs.

I see Marcus Robinson in that spot.

Hosack is competing with McMullen for the #5 spot on the team
