The Minnesota Vikings held a walk-through Thursday morning and will be in full pads this afternoon.
While most of the players stood around, there were plenty of dignitaries on the sidelines. Owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf were at training camp for the first time, and there were a few state legislators on hand, no doubt geeting wooed by the Vikings, who still hope to get a new stadium deal through a special session this summer.
U.S. Senator Al Franken also stopped by practice as part of a tour of south-central Minnesota.
A group of NFL officials also attended practice.
It was unusual to see quarterback Joe Webb, lending a few tips to Donovan McNabb, as the quarterbacks worked together.
While other players watched from the sidelines, veteran guard Steve Hutchinson was working on technique with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson.
It was odd to see the team work on pooch kicks and onside kicks without using a ball.
We'll be back with some thoughts after the afternoon practice.
