EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Elijah Lee
can finally answer, “Yes,” to the question he’s most frequently received since Saturday when the Vikings tabbed the linebacker with a seventh-round pick.
Ever since Lee had his name announced as the 232nd overall selection, Lee said people have asked if it’s set in.
“I’d always tell them, ‘No, not until I get there.’ Now I’m here and I’m excited,” Lee said Thursday as he and Vikings draft picks arrived at the team’s Winter Park headquarters for rookie minicamp.
Lee is one of 11 selections made the by the Vikings during the 2017 NFL Draft.
The draft class, along with more than a dozen undrafted free agents that agreed to terms with the Vikings, will participate in meetings and practices on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
After wearing purple in high school in Missouri and in college for Kansas State, Lee said he looks forward to soon connecting with fellow K-State alums Terence Newman and Emmanuel Lamur.
“I think one of the equipment guys said it’s nice to have three generations of Wildcats on a team,” Lee said. “That doesn’t happen too often. It’s going to be nice because I can look up to them and ask them questions.”
