It is almost time for the NFL draft. It takes place this Thursday.
While fans and journalists always think about what teams will do during the draft, they also look back at some memories from previous ones. The Minnesota Vikings have been around since 1961, so there are plenty of memories to look back on. Not all outstanding ones, but still some good ones overall.
It was 30 years ago, and they drafted running back Robert Smith 21st overall out of Ohio State University.
