Booker Impresses Childress
Florida State Running Back Lorenzo Booker apparently wowed Minnesota Vikings Coach Brad Childress with his knowledge of X’s and O’s.
Booker has had interviews with the majority of NFL teams, but he said, interviews with the Vikings and Rams went the best.
“When you’re interviewing with these guys, they just want to get a feel of who you are,” said Booker. “When they ask you about football, they want to know how aware you are.”
When a coach with the Rams asked him about his favorite play at Florida State, Booker grabbed a nearby whiteboard and began diagramming aspects of the play and how it related to the entire offense.
“It just escalated from there,” said Booker. “You would have thought that I was the coach and he was a recruit.”
Everyone in the room, including Vikings coach Brad Childress, stopped and walked over to see what was happening.
“Everybody was kind of speechless when I got done,” said Booker. “Most guys aren’t going to be able to tell you what everyone on the field is doing.”
