Minnesota Vikings waive rookie WR Rodney Adams, add running back

Looking to add some more playmakers to their offense this offseason, the Minnesota Vikings opted to select South Florida wide receiver Rodney Adams with a fifth-round pick in last spring’s NFL Draft.

Adams was a touchdown machine during his final two seasons at South Florida. As a junior and a senior, the receiver found the end zone an impressive 27 different times. Minnesota hoped that his touchdown habits in college would carry over into the NFL.

During the preseason, Adams had a few bright moments. In four games, he caught nine passes for 73 yards and two touchdown.
