This is the guy we signed in December along with the kicker Menenhal. Can you say Good-Bye Vinny Ciurciu?

Ya Kenny is awesome.... I think he can make the team as a special teamer

I have seen him play the last 2 seasons as he played with the Edmonton Eskimos

He has good speed and hits incredibly hard...A big loss for my Esks but if he helps the Vikes Iam all for it

He looks fast, physical and strong. His path to the NFL is going to have to run through Specail Teams, I like what I see in this video, we need good specail teamers. I think he has a chance but we'll have very good competition at the LB postion. He's not very big at 6' 2 225 but if he's a beast on specail teams thats exactly what we are looking for. Can't wait to see him in action come preseason.

Looks pretty good on special teams.

And does anyone else hate the CFL endzones with the uprights in the front of it. That just seems idiotic.

Looks pretty good blitzing the QB, some what like James Harrison.

We could definately use all of the special teams help we could get atm, did he see any playing time after he was signed in December?

I didn't see this reported before on here. Maybe I missed it, but the Vikings have signed Onatolo as a line backer. WHO?????
Here's the report from the Edmonton paper from the CFL.

The Edmonton Eskimos have lost one of their key linebackers, as Kenny Onatolu has signed a contract with the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, Sun Media has learned.

"It has always been a dream of mine (to play in the NFL)," Onatolu told the Edmonton Sun. "I'm looking forward to showing (the Vikings coaches) what I can do."

Minnesota was just one of several American teams that were drawn to Onatolu, including the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
