Ifeadi Odenigbo's path, from Vikings seventh-round pick to his first NFL sack on Sunday against the Giants, went something like this:
2017: Get released at the end of training camp; start the year on the practice squad modeling opposing defense on the scout team. Gain 20 pounds after playing the part of 3-4 defensive end effectively enough on the scout team that coaches decide to move you full-time to defensive tackle.
2018: Move back to defensive end after 2018 sixth-rounder Ade Aruna injured his knee. Get cut, lose 20 pounds while playing defensive end on Cleveland and Arizona's practice squads.
