Vikings: Caledonia, Minn., can't wait to see its two NFL players on field together

The Nielsen ratings should soar Thursday night in Caledonia, Minn., when the Vikings play the Tennessee Titans.

The game will feature two of the best football players ever to come out of the town of 3,000 people in the southeast corner of the state: Vikings receiver Isaac Fruechte and defensive end Karl Klug.

Kickoff in the teams' final exhibition game of the year is at 7 p.m. Thursday (KMSP, Ch. 9).

"Everybody in town is going to be watching," said Carl Fruechte, who coached both his son and Klug at Caledonia High School and is now an assistant coach for the Warriors.
