Hummmmm, no mention of the Vikes talking with him. Maybe it was in an earlier entry.

It is Robison!
I've seen it spelled that way & as Robinson.
NFL teams have to be careful not to put too much stock in the scouting combine workouts. But it was tough not to notice Texas defensive end Brian Robison this year. For what it's worth, which might not be much, here is how Robison, the 102nd overall draft pick, compared to Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams, the fourth overall pick:
40-yd
dash
20-yd
dash
10-yd dash
225-lb bench
vertical jump
broad jump
three cone
20 shuttle
Adams
4.65
2.71
1.6
21
35
9-11
7.17
4.36
Robison
4.68
2.67
1.5
27
40.5
10-1
6.9
4.26

I am impressed
Had Robison had 13.5 sacks like Gaines did he would have been a top pick but he got 5.5 sacks and battled injuries last season. The guy has mad skill, i watched him open field tackle Adrian Peterson twice and thats no easy task.
Moving up to take this guy makes sense, Childress likes guys who work there tails off. He's one and so is Tavaris Jackson. They have outstanding work ethic.
this guy is going to be a major player! ESPECIALLY on special teams!! I love guys that can make open field tackles, i hope some of his work ethic rubs off on someother people...
The more I read about Robison the more I'm delighted we moved up to get him; especially as it seems we're not the only team who wanted him, Tony Dungy said he would've drafted him had he been available when the Colts were on the clock.
