The Vikings spent another 5th round pick on a kicker/punter Kaare Vedvik, something they did last year in acquiring Daniel Carlson, and back in 2013 to acquire punter Jeff Locke. Neither turned out that well, but in fairness to Carlson, he was excellent after moving to Oakland.
Born in Norway, Vedvik played soccer and didn’t get into American football until he was exposed to it as an exchange student in the US. Presumably he picked up on what a lucrative career path punting or kicking can be in the NFL - 6 or 7 figure salary for only a handful of plays each game - and decided to pursue the American dream.
