EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Tyrus Thompson has been focused on getting his career off the ground, but a flight at 5 p.m. Thursday is in the back of his mind.
Hours after the Vikings mandatory minicamp wraps, the rookie will be headed to see his wife of three years and their two children, ending the longest amount of time he’s spent away from his family.
“It’s going to be great,” Thompson said. “I love those kids.”
Thompson arrived in Minnesota for a rookie minicamp a week after he was selected in the sixth round.
