Statement from Pat Narduzzi:
“The Vikings organization not only drafted an outstanding player in Brian O’Neill but also an exceptional person and leader. Incredibly it was less than three years ago that we asked Brian to move from tight end to tackle just weeks before camp opened. He never hesitated and through hard work made himself an All-ACC offensive lineman and now an NFL Draft pick. As good as he was at Pitt, I really think his best football is ahead of him. We are incredibly proud of Brian tonight.”
