Kris Adams, a rookie wide receiver from the UTEP, today signed a two-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings.
Kris spent the end of the season working on the Vikings’ Practice Squad, after playing for the Chicago Bears and St. Louis Rams early in the season.
Kris was among the NCAA leaders in yards-per-catch and hauled in more than 30 touchdowns in his UTEP career as a 6’4″ downfield threat.
Kris signed with Minnesota after being courted by over a dozen teams coming out of college following the lockout.
“Kris is one heck of a downfield threat. He’s 6’4″, runs a 4.4 forty and leaps a 40 inch vertical,” commented agent Mark Magazu, President of Atlas Strategies, the New York-based player agency. “He’s got great hands and really distinguished himself coming out of college. He’s also highly intelligent and we enjoy working with him and his family tremendously.”
Kris will work out at the renowned Athletes’ Performance facility this offseason to prepare for the 2012 season.
