The Vikings have continued to rotate Andre Smith and T.J. Clemmings in at right tackle, but the left tackle position hasn’t wavered. Matt Kalil is entering his fifth season in Minnesota, and Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press caught up with one his teammates to get the 411 on Kalil.
Defensive end Everson Griffen said Kalil has looked the best that Griffin’s ever seen him. In addition to playing together in Minnesota since Kalil was drafted in 2012, the two were also teammates at USC from 2008-09.
