| | | You couldn't blame offensive lineman Phil Loadholt if he is carrying around a bit of extra confidence these days. The Vikings' second-round pick in the April draft, Loadholt was expected to compete with Ryan Cook for the starting job at right tackle in training camp. But two weeks into camp, Loadholt, a graduate of Fountain-Fort Carson High School who starred at Oklahoma, has taken the overwhelming majority of snaps with the first team. "I know right now that it means absolutely nothing," he said. "We've got a long time to go before the actual first game of the year. Even though the preseason game is right around the corner, it means absolutely nothing until I get in there and actually prove (myself)." Source: Denver Post | | |
