MANKATO, Minn. -- Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph insisted he wasn't bucking for an endorsement deal when he recently extolled the virtues of a certain fast-food restaurant.
"I'm a frequent (visitor) at Chipotle in Wayzata," Rudolph said. "They pretty much know me by name now, so that's one of my favorite places to go get food."
Rudolph used to like a lot of fast-food restaurants, but he has changed his ways, altering his diet this year. He said Chipotle still meets his requirements since he can get brown rice and organic vegetables there.
Rudolph missed 15 of Minnesota's 32 games over the past two seasons because of injuries.
