EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Back in his native Minnesota to begin his diverted career anew, Michael Floyd has moved in with an old friend.
“I figured I’d save some money,” Floyd said with a smile.
Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, his college roommate of three years at Notre Dame and now a fellow purple-wearing pass catcher, became Floyd’s de facto landlord following the recently incarcerated wide receiver’s accelerated arrival from Arizona.
“I just texted him and told him I’m sleeping downstairs,” Floyd said Wednesday after his second practice with the team he signed with two weeks ago.
