Vikings draft receiver Rodney Adams and guard Danny Isidora in the fifth round
The Vikings drafted another fifth-round receiver. This time the honor belongs to South Florida product Rodney Adams.
Adams, the 170th-overall pick in the fifth round, could immediately help the Vikings replace Cordarrelle Patterson at kick returner. Adams averaged nearly 25 yards per return, taking one back for a touchdown, during his final two seasons at USF.
The speedy receiver was a versatile threat in college, catching 67 passes for 822 yards and taking 23 handoffs for 236 rushing yards last season. Adams scored five touchdowns in the air and on the ground.
Adams (6-1, 189 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds this spring. Minnesota also snagged receiver Stefon Diggs in the fifth round two years ago.
The Vikings stuck on the offensive side in the fifth round, adding guard Danny Isidora (6-3, 306 pounds) with the 180th overall pick.
Isidora was a three-year starter at right guard for the Miami Hurricanes.
