Vikings signed South Dakota State WR Jake Wieneke.
Wienecke (6’4/221) graduated as the Missouri Valley Conference record holder in career catches (288), receiving yards (5,157), and receiving TDs (59). Wieneke’s sub-par athleticism was exposed at the Combine with 4.67 speed and eighth-percentile SPARQ results. Wieneke is a creative and sometimes dominant contested-catch winner and could make a living as a special teamer and red-zone contributor, or perhaps even a slot receiver. He won’t win one-on-one battles against NFL corners on the outside.
