Brock Lesnar has signed with the Minnesota Vikings, reports the Pioneer Press. Lesnar's goal was to join the NFL and sign with this team when he walked out of WWE following WrestleMania XX.
The following is from the Pioneer Press:
Vikings coach Mike Tice said the team will sign former NCAA champion and pro wrestler Brock Lesnar to a contract and bring him to training camp, which begins Friday in Mankato, Minn.
Tice made the decision after putting Lesnar through strenuous 45-minute workout this morning. Tice said Lesnar, who hasn't played football since high school, would play the same defensive tackle position as veteran Chris Hovan.
"I'm excited. All I ask for is the opportunity, and he's given me that," said Lesnar, 6-foot-3, 286 pounds.
Tice said Lesnar will sign a contract after taking a physical later today.
