Tyler Thigpen was an interesting pick by the Minnesota Vikings.  He has nice size at 6′2″, 223 pounds and he’s fast enough (4.73 40) to take off out of the pocket if he has to.  Thigpen doesn’t have a big arm but he’s good at hitting short and medium distance passes.  In 41 games (39 start) at Coastal Carolina, Thigpen completed 486 of 879 (55.3%) of his passes for 6,598 yards with 53 TD passes and 25 interceptions.  He also ran the ball well as he carried the ball 346 times for 1,626 yards (4.7 ypc) with 13 TD runs.  Thigpen would probably be nothing more than a practice squad player on most teams but he might be more than that for the Vikings.
