National Signing Day: How Did Current Vikings Rate As Recruits?

If you're a fan of college football, you're definitely already aware that today is National Signing Day in the world of college football. . .or, as some might call it, the one day a year that fax machines still have relevance.

You're going to see a lot of talk about 5-star recruits and other levels of "star" ratings if you're following the signings today. So, we decided to take a look back and see how current members of the Minnesota Vikings were viewed by scouts during their high school days when they were being pursued by colleges.

So, the Vikings have five players on their roster that were five-star recruits in high school. . .Sharrif Floyd, Everson Griffen, Matt Kalil, Adrian Peterson, and Kyle Rudolph. Peterson has obviously worked out pretty well, and Floyd and Griffen appear to be making the jump as well. The jury is obviously still out on Kalil, and if Rudolph could stay on the field, he could probably fulfill that potential as well.

But, on this recruiting day, that's a look at the majority of the players on the current Minnesota Vikings' roster. Does anyone stick out to you? Are there any surprises? (Besides, obviously, "dual-threat quarterback Audie Cole," I mean.)
