Edmond Robinson tried to keep his mind focused on football during the Vikings mandatory minicamp this week, but memories of the tragedy of one year ago were inescapable.
Edmond Robinson is headed home to Charleston, S.C., on Friday for a five-week hiatus before the start of Vikings training camp.
He expects it to be an emotional day.
Robinson, a second-year linebacker, plans to visit his former church, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, to honor victims on the anniversary of a mass shooting that took place in that historic southern church.
