Vikings HC Mike Zimmer doesn't know if Teddy Bridgewater will throw more next year but wants to be able to say next year he took over the offense. "It's going to be his baby eventually."

Vikings HC Mike Zimmer said Trae Waynes was in a good situation last year learning from vets and playing special teams. It is a situation of learning the pro game for him.

I saw some real potential in Trae Waynes last season. He seemed to get more acclimated to the NFL game as the season progressed.

#Baylor NT Andrew Billings said the #Vikings told him that if he is still on the board at pick #23 they will take him. #NFLCombine #NFLDraft

Thats not accurate at all. Some of us said "Yikes, he's not close to being a starter. He's not going to be like Anthony Barr and make an impact from day one". And then another part of the board said "He's not a bust, give him a chance!"

That said, he did make huge leaps throughout the year.
