A purple blur keeps Vikings camp rolling along

Equipment assistant Terrell Barnes draws kudos for his hustle. “He does his job 100 percent every day,” receiver Jarius Wright said.

MANKATO – One moment he is backpedaling to make a one-handed catch with a sack of footballs slung over one shoulder. The next he is zipping out of the end zone to grab a ball from the punt returner before firing a 25-yard spiral down the field.

Blink and you might miss him, but he is sure to grab your attention again soon enough.

Terrell Barnes doesn’t wear a purple helmet or a practice jersey.
