MANKATO, Minn. – Claudell Louis knew a sea of unfamiliar faces would greet him when he arrived at training camp, but he knew he’d see the face of one Vikings player who he considers family, as well.
Louis grew up together with Emmanuel Lamur, who is also of Haitian descent, in Florida. They share the same training site and offseason home, and as of Saturday, they share the same locker room.
Louis, a 25-year-old rookie who played collegiately at Fresno State, was signed by Buffalo this spring but released in June.
