The Vikings' top draft pick, cornerback Chris Cook (pictured), appears to be having a fine camp, using his size and athleticism to show his knack for defending the pass and even pulling down a few interceptions.
In our Notebook, we continue to follow Minnesota State's Adrian Battles, who was signing autographs along with the other offensive linemen on Monday. The notebook also has briefs on receiver Logan Payne and injured cornerback Cedric Griffin.
The Associated Press checked out the supposedly "skinny" Pat Williams, who, it's been said, has lost 18 pounds from last year.
* On Sunday, coach Brad Childress talked about the idea of "full pads" vs. shorts, saying that it's really not that much different: "I kid about that all the time," he said. "We say full pads when all they really do is put pads on (players are usually in helmets and shoulder pads). Think about it -- because nobody wears pads in their pants. So they wear purple trunks, and they act like they're getting flogged if I say that it's full pads and when they have to put pants on. ... They have all the pads they're going to have on." That said, there will be more live hitting today and bringing players to the ground.
