Great article.... Both guys seem pretty driven and with coach Andre, it is tempting to thinking that at least 1 if not both will pan out... They seem like grinders which bodes well.
Thanks for reading. Over the years I've come to realize that it's super, super important for rookies simply to know what they're doing. Coaches care a lot more about that than splash plays. Seems like these guys will be well-studied enough to know their assignments.
Same thing I thought as I was reading your article, Sam. Really tough to play fast when you don't know your assignments. And Zimmer has what I would consider to be one of the more complex pass rushing/containment schemes for his front 4, so the work ethic these young men have should serve them well.
A couple of people have mentioned the Vikings seem to focusing (or at least factoring in) high caliber character players and both these guys seem solid (and as somebody living in Tokyo my props to Jones for being born over here!)
Still a little amused with doubling up on Pittsburgh talent... but the faith is sitting pretty in coach Patterson, along with Zimmer Jr. What better way for the head coach's son to shine than to revitalize the Vikings defense.

Very informative article on some newcomers that most of us don't know much about
