We're now two days into the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where more than 330 draft-eligible players will be measured, interviewed and tested.
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer made the media rounds on Thursday, during which he spoke about the **possibility of hiring a kicking specialist coach** and the **“romance” of offensive coaching meetings**, among multiple other topics.
Offensive lineman, running backs and special teamers had their podium sessions and participated in the bench press. Tight ends, quarterbacks and wide receivers kicked things off with measurements and medical examinations.
There were plenty of takeaways from the day, including a surprise announcement by a retired Pro Bowler and a professional golfer trying his hand at football.
