This is already a time of change for 25 drafted and undrafted rookies on the Vikings roster, some adjustments we can all understand: new job, new bosses and a new city.
A select few are being told to make more changes.
Three rookies, Jalyn Holmes, Hercules Mata’afa (pictured above) and Kamryn Pettway, also began playing new positions over the weekend during a three-day rookie minicamp. During the draft process, the Vikings pinpointed Holmes — a fourth-round defensive end from Ohio State — as a candidate to play defensive tackle.
Holmes played there some at Ohio State, for “a couple games,” but he didn’t think it was his NFL future until this spring.
