The Minnesota Vikings knew well that the inconsistency with former USC defensive end Everson Griffen would secure his availability in the fourth round when the team with the 100th overall pick was to draft an impressive DE. The Vikings figured it right and Griffen finally put on the purple and gold Vikings jersey to be the team’s rookie.
Actually, the 6-3, 273-pound defensive end had been considered to be drafted in the first or second round, however, he stayed on the board until the fourth round and available to the Vikings majorly because of his inconsistency in his college football career. When he was great, he was able to earn a starting job as a freshman and sophomore, but he also sometimes disappeared from our view with unimpressive performance. Then again he returned with amazing statistics in his last college season by having 45 tackles and 8 sacks. He is surely with great talents, and that’s why the Vikings still would like to add him to defensive line.
Griffen’s future with the Vikings seems bright. He will be able to work with and learn from talented veterans like Jared Allen and Ray Edwards as well as 2007 fourth-round pick Brian Robison. There will be good motivation for him to improve consistency and try to get more playing time.
