The Minnesota Vikings contacted Saints coach Fran McCaffrey this week to ask about Haddix's hands, agility, size and attitude, perhaps with the thought of turning the 1,500-point scorer into a tight end.

Michael Haddix headed home to Vineland, N.J., on Friday to spend a weekend with his family. He plans to toss the football with his father a bit, because in about a month, Haddix will be playing with professionals.

The next Steve Jordan?
We could only hope!

If he can catch a cold I say we do it.

Not really, but we are almost to that point, if you buy in to the doom and gloom.

I have been guilty of that this offseason, and how can you not?

this guy is worth a look, especially with V-Shi being a ?.

Hmmm, now this could turn out to be an interesting topic.

I'm going to guess that he will be invited by the Vikings to join training camp as a walk-on, undrafted player.

Why waste a draft pick on someone who hasn't played football at the collegiate level?

6' 6"????? sign him (He wouldn't be in the draft thats for sure.) Imagine him towering over secondaries. Anyone watch pros vs joes? I think it was this years finally when randall cunningham(Sp) was throwing it to a former NBA centre, seems like a good idea to me.

Sounds like a Joe Senser clone.

I think he would be good to look at if he is available as an undrafted free agent but other than that i wouldn't look at him.
If it is the size that is attractive then, chandler out of Iowa is a TE and he is also 6"6".
I have read he runs good routes and has soft hands as well.
He isn't the best blocker but he can be taught with Jimmy K on our team.
Chandler will also be around when we pick in the 3rd or 4th round i think.
