On today's show, we'll talk about Darren Wolfson's nugget on Skor North's "The Scoop" where he divulged that the Vikings are trying to get a Harrison Smith and Brian O'Neill extension done around the start of training camp. The amounts of this will be affected by the Ryan Ramczyk extension, but how much should we care about the amounts? Plus, the story of the ever eccentric and odd Kenny Willekes.

On today's show, we'll talk about the art of route running as inspired by some Keenan Allen takes. Then, we'll talk about a couple of DII tight ends that took wacky paths to their NFL opportunities. Zach Davidson impressed with punting and basketball, and became a tight end. Shane Zylstra worked construction for a year before he got the Vikings' call. Come hang!

The Vikings' skill corps is exciting. Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Thielen are a great trio. But after that, and Irv Smith, who else finds the field? Tyler Conklin? Chad Beebe? Ihmir Smith-Marsette? Uh... C.J. Ham? At any rate, we'll tell Smith-Marsette's story from a water polo champion to state football cornerback to dynamic, but maturing, wide receiver.
