| 0:17.1 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Inside. We're coming. |
| 0:21.9 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar, here. |
| 0:26.6 | And the NFL Combine is officially in the books. |
| 0:31.3 | So we've got a lot to talk about, including a lot of players that are in Vikings' positions |
