Can you tell us about a player on the roster who hasn’t reached the spotlight but you feel will be a difference maker in 2014?
"I’d love to say Harrison Smith, but I think he’s made the spotlight enough already to be noticeable. So instead, I’ll go with Xavier Rhodes. If he can stay healthy, I think he’ll be a big time cornerback for Minnesota and help folks forget about the struggles of the last couple years."

I know it’s ridiculously early, but I know everyone looks at the schedule in the offseason trying to predict wins and losses. How do you feel about the matchup(s) against the Bears?
"Vikings fans have to be excited about the games against the Bears this year. Most of the drama and intrigue will come from Jared Allen now being with Chicago, but it should overall be a good couple games anyway. I could see Minnesota splitting with Chicago this year if both teams are playing good football."
