On the ground in Mankato. Some AM showers rolled over the Crown Jewel of South Central Minnesota Thursday morning, but it didn't stop the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings from taking the field for walkthroughs. It also didn't stop me from rounding up Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL), Sam Ekstrom (@SamEkstrom) and Eric Thompson (@Eric_J_Thompson) at the media center and playing a quick NAME GAME. Names Include: • Jayron Kearse • Willie Beavers • Matt Kalil • Zach Moore • Tre Roberson • Charles Johnson • Trae Waynes • Tom Johnson • Brian Jerome Robison • Mortiz Boehringer • TJ Clemmings • Laquon Treadwell • Chad Greenway • Jeff Locke All that and other "How You Gonna Get Fired on Your Day Off?" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW!
