MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Toby Gerhart is trying his best to grasp the playbook.
There’s a lot to learn for the second-round draft pick from Stanford, who is listed third on the depth chart behind All-Pro Adrian Peterson and Albert Young. The coaching staff has been pleased by Gerhart’s attitude and effort during training camp so far, but he has a long way to go in terms of picking up blitzes, reading defenses and becoming a complete player.
Cornerback Chris Cook is Minnesota’s other second-round draft pick. He’s also listed third on the depth chart, on the left side behind Antoine Winfield and Benny Sapp. Cook has stood out at times in practice, with several interceptions during drills. The coaches say they’ll consider trying him on the right side.
