Nielsen might have caught the Vikings' attention at the scouting combine. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound outside linebacker, whose best asset is his speed. He ran a 4.74 second 40-yard dash at the combine and his 11.43 second time in the 60-yard shuttle was the second-fastest among linebackers. He also did 21 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press.
Powell, 6-2 and 311 pounds, was a two-year starter at North Carolina and is considered a run-stuffer. He bench pressed 225 pounds 29 times at the combine and ran a 5.36 40.
Saulsberry could have the ability to play guard and center. He is 6-foot-2, 304 pounds and was a four-year starter at Mississippi State. He ran a 5.38 40 at the combine and did 26 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds.
The players agreed to terms which means they could decide not to join the team. They will participate next week when the Vikings conduct their annual rookie minicamp at the team facilities.
