If Josh Robinson can show some skills at the DB position then put him in there. He can't do any worse than whom the Vikes had playing DBs last year. He looks like a player and has the speed to cover man-to-man should the Vikes utilizes their blitzes! Hope he has some good coaching now and in camp later on. Only game time will tell if he can play or not!

Imagine how fast he would be without those dreds! Speed kills! All the power to the young bucks. Seems with the showing of so many returning vikes, everyone is all in to Leslie's plan.

I hope they take a long look at the kid from ND who runs a 4.32 40. We need to improve our team speed.....

I'm glad Da'Jon McKnight getting a chance.

NDSU Gatlin is a beast CB as good as Marcus Williams from ndsu whobis only a junior. Vikes should sign gaylin asap

Not a good sign if your head coach doesn't know the numbers of the players he drafted. I guarantee I would have known that #31 is their third round pick... this isn't an undrafted rookie.

Let's see if he is able to make an impression when the "real" season begins at full speed instaed of on the practice field with a 3-13 caliber team!!! I guess this atricle is the first in a thousand of the same old stories telling us purple homers how great everyone looks in meaningless mini-camps and pre-season. I remember last year when the Strib writers and viking officials told us how great players like Donovan McNabb and Bernard Berrian looked and how they were poised to have break-out seasons. 53 years of this mindless dribble is more than any non- mentally challenged human being can take!!!

i like the fact the Vikings brought in some guys who can really run. This team has no speed today, let's hope by the Fall they can find a few guys to make a difference on the field.

Robinson is from the speed state afterall
