I couldn't find anything on Armanti Foreman,but did find a letter to NFL GMs from his brother which is posted in the player profile

Holton Hill is definitely the most likely guy to make the roster. The off field stuff was thought to drop him from the second day to about round 5. Maybe not being drafted will be the kick up the butt he needs to get himself sorted out.

I think one of the reasons for this is because the Vikings carried 3 tackles on the practice squad. There's currently 15 offensive linemen on the roster, so they're already pretty full.

I'll upload the update to the Vikings depth chart tonight so you'll get a better picture of the situation there. I do believe there's about 6 roster spots open, so they will have the chance to hopefully sign some OL UDFAs.

Vikings signed four tryout players after rookie minicamp over the weekend: WR Chad Beebe, CB Craig James, FB Johnny Stanton (former UNLV QB who was listed as a TE at rookie camp) and LB Brett Taylor. To make room on the 90 man roster, Minnesota waived LS Nick Dooley, WR Armanti Foreman, DT Caushaud Lyons and FB Kamryn Pettway.

Well, it looks like Mackensie's brother Mackenro couldn't make the team.

Good Lord...I could be wrong, but from what I can recall Jet was not very good his first couple seasons making the transition to RB from his system in college. It seemed like his out of this world sparq scores didn't translate with between the tackles and yards after contact--seemed to go down after any contact.

Roc looks pretty good from his hightlights

Matthew Coller wrote a nice article on Chad Beebe at 1500 ESPN.

I like how the Vikings have amassed all these underdog WRs (Beebe, Wieneke, Robertson, Zylstra), and maybe we can get one to pan out. Or at least get the competition cooking behind Treadwell's backside. I was hoping Cayleb Jones could do that but he's getting suspended.
