0:48.1

Sam Monson pro football focus Sam we've done this many times together where we've talked about football and the Minnesota Vikings,

0:54.8

but how many times have we talked when Delvin Cook was not a Viking?

0:59.6

Probably not that many. It is throughout the day kind of hitting me

1:04.0

that most of my career covering the Vikings has always had him

1:08.0

as the running back, always had Adam Thiellen as the receiver,

1:11.0

always had Eric Kendrick's at linebacker, and it is a new day in Minnesota now.
