After signing four late-round draft picks on Wednesday, the Vikings announced Thursday that second-round pick, offensive tackle, Brian O’Neill has agreed to his rookie contract with the team.
O’Neill, a 12-game starter and All-ACC left tackle for Pittsburgh University last season, was selected by the Vikings with the 62nd overall pick in last week’s NFL Draft.
NFL Network’s Mike Mayock is on record saying O’Neill has a chance to be a dynamic starter at either tackle position in the NFL, and he appears to be in line for a chance to start at right tackle as a rookie.
