Caleb King, the running back from Georgia who wasn’t selected in today’s supplemental draft, is heading to Minnesota.
King’s agent Kevin Conner told Zach Klein of WSB in Atlanta, “Caleb had interest from 10-15 teams and is excited to be going to the Minnesota Vikings.”
King was the Bulldogs’ second-leading rusher each of the past three seasons but was arrested and suspended during the 2010 season and was ruled academically ineligible for the 2011 season.
The Vikings will have less than two weeks to evaluate King before deciding on September 3 whether he deserves a spot on their 53-man roster.
