When was the last time Dan Chisena — the talented but raw former Penn St. track runner who was the only undrafted rookie to make the Vikings’ initial 53-man roster — played defense before his three-day experiment in training camp?
“I think it was middle school,” Chisena said Monday via videoconference. “So, it was a little different.”
Days before last weekend’s roster cuts, Vikings coaches told Chisena, who played 14 games as a receiver after rejoining Penn St.’s football team, he’d be switching to safety. But because of the communication responsibilities at safety, they moved him to corner for three practices.
