In 2010, linebacker Solomon Elimimian was the CFL’s most outstanding rookie. He now has the title of most outstanding name on the Minnesota Vikings roster.

The former BC Lion has joined the Vikings, according to his agent.

Elimimian reportedly was being pursued by the Rams and the Panthers.

The Vikings have not yet announced the news. Last week, Saskatechewan Roughriders linebacker Jerrell Freeman joined the Colts.
