2. Elliss with a PBU
The team spent a few minutes on a 7-on-7 drill toward the end of the afternoon.
The limited reps didn't offer too many flashy plays, but linebacker Christian Elliss, who signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Idaho, flew in with a snazzy pass breakup on a Mond throw intended for Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
Mond, who also logged several on-target passes, reflected on his first NFL practice.
"I had a couple of misreads and mis-throws, and those are some of those things that I say, 'It's easy to draw them up and tell coaches your reads, but actually getting out there on the field and just being able to rep it out is definitely different,' " Mond told Twin Cities media members. "Also just getting back in football mode and training your eyes to read coverages, that's something that you just have to get back acclimated to.
"I thought it was a pretty good session," he added. "Obviously a lot more room to grow, but that's why I'm out in Minnesota, and I'm super excited to be here."
