Turning into a guard from tackle, former MSU college football player Adrian Battles is making progress as a rookie in Minnesota Vikings jersey, and he is confident that he will earn a spot by the time the Vikings have their training camp at Winter Park, where he visited frequently for practice and games when he was a college player for the Minnesota State University.
Battles had a four-year experience of starting at tackle on defensive line during college football career, but since joining the Vikings, he has been transformed to guard on offensive line. He has been at that position the entire two-week Organized Team Activities and will continue to play there in following offseason programs. Battles seems to have adjusted himself well to the new position and said that he was happy to have a chance of learning from big-name players. Playing behind starters Steve Hutchinson and Anthony Herrera and veteran Ryan Cook, Battles is glad to have the opportunity. He was used at both left and right guard during last week’s practices, and coaches were impressed pretty much by the rookie’s good job at both position.
Battles still need to give more excellent performance to earn a real spot with the Vikings, and the rookie is really working hard to reach his goal, so it’s reasonable for him to have the confident that he would be still with the team for the 2010 regular season.
