The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with 2008 fifth-round (152nd overall) draft pick defensive tackle Letroy Guion and sixth-round wide receiver Jaymar Johnson (193rd overall).

 

The rookie defensive tackle played at Florida State University in his home state and is the Vikings youngest player, turning 21 on June 21. Guion started 14 games in his Seminoles career and declared for the NFL draft after his junior season. As a prep standout at Bradford High in Starke, Florida, he was named runner-up for Florida’s Mr. Football for Class 2A as a senior.

 

Johnson was a multi-dimensional threat at Jackson State where he scored touchdowns by rush, reception and punt return during his career. He started 30 career games and had a career-best seven receiving touchdowns as a senior and scored on punt returns as a junior and senior. As a senior, Johnson helped Jackson State to the SWAC title after posting a 2-9 record as a sophomore.
