After falling to the Vikings in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Scott Crichton logged just 17 snaps on the season. Although he battled injuries throughout last year's offseason program, rumors swirled that Mike Zimmer wasn't happy with the rookie. Now entering his second year, Crichton is bigger, hungrier, and more confident. After Rick Spielman publicly endorsed the Oregon State product, optimism within the Vikings fan base began to gain steam, and at this point he is fully expected to be a contributor for the 2015-16 season.
When the pick was announced, I was a big fan of it.
