"“Tagaloa is a 6-foot-8 guard who has battled injuries during his time with the Wildcats, but has terrific strength. At Arizona’s pro day, he did 41 bench press reps, more than anyone who attended the NFL Combine.”"
Currently, the Vikings are accumulating as much talent and competition for the offensive line as possible. After being having their depth decimated by injuries and retirements in 2016, the team is taking no chances when it comes to having quality personnel available.
Considering the excellent strength he possesses and his ability to impress the team, it isn’t a huge surprise that the Vikings want to see more from the offensive lineman.
