>>Vikings coach dishes on UConn's Shamar Stephen

There was a transcript up on the Minnesota Vikings official site of head coach Mike Zimmer's thoughts after the first day of rookie minicamp. He was asked a couple of questions about former UConn defensive tackle Shamar Stephen, a seventh-round pick of the team.

Q: What do you see from Shamar Stephen?
A: Yeah he’s been out here a couple of days and he’s got some good power with him. I think he’s going to be a bigger guy once he gets a little more into the weight program, but he’s got great quickness, great quick hands. He’s got a chance down the road too.

Q: He’s already at 300, do you see a weight you want him at?
A: Well I think he can develop a little more in his upper body. I haven’t talked to the strength coaches about weights and where we want them to be at and where they can get to at this point. We’ll have that conversation probably in the next two weeks.<<

When I read the quotes about getting into the weight program a little more, I throw up in my mouth a little. Thanks PP GDL and Hathaway.

This is on P. There is more and more indication he did not have a sound S&C program in place. I honestly don't know how anyone could let that happen at this level of college football.
