  Vikings | Minnesota adds more UDFAs    Mon Apr 30, 12:47 PM

Undrafted free-agent Armanti Foreman (Texas), FB Kamryn Pettway (Auburn), QB Peter Pujals (Holy Cross), RB Roc Thomas (Jacksonville State) and WR Jake Wieneke (South Dakota State) signed with the Minnesota Vikings Monday, April 30. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Thomas is perhaps the most interesting of this bunch. He's got some Eli McGuire (Jets) to his game as Thomas is a speedy back who has the quickness to make defenders miss. Thomas could move up the depth chart as a Jerick McKinnon-like back behind starter Dalvin Cook.
