The Vikings selected a player many dubbed as a sleeper in this draft, picking Southern Illinois tight end MyCole Pruitt with the tenth pick of the fifth round.

Pruitt was a dominant receiver at the FCS level and helped his stock with a fantastic performance at the NFL Combine, with a remarkable 4.58 40 time-- even more impressive considering his 6'2", 250 lb. frame. Many pundits have projected him as a H-back in the NFL.
