EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (WCCO) — Imagine this — you get drafted by the Minnesota Vikings and then they hand you the same jersey number as one of the franchise’s all-time greatest players.
No pressure, right?
Well one Vikings rookie is embracing the opportunity to be a difference-maker.
It’s a big responsibility, wearing the No. 84 ’round round here, but Bucky Hodges fits the bill rather well. There’s a new freak in the Vikings offense.
“I’m learning it — I’m learning a lot. Compared to when I first got here, sounded like a foreign language to me,” Hodges said.
