Duluth Athlete Invited To Minnesota Vikings Rookie Minicamp [VIDEO]

Cortez (CJ) Ham helped Augustana reach the school's first Division II playoff berth since 2010 and now he has the potential to go pro with the Minnesota Vikings. 

CJ is a 6-foot-1, 238-pound running back who even graduated from Denfeld. I graduated two years before him, but he is one of the nicest guys you will ever met and one heck of a football player.

He earned All-NSIC South Division Second Team honors his senior season at Augustana and even won the 2015 NSIC Football Glen Galligan Award for making a positive contribution to the school and exceeding in academics.

CJ was invited to the Minnesota Vikings rookie training camp this weekend. I wish the best of luck to CJ and hopefully his dream of playing in the pros comes true! You can check out his highlight video below and let me know what you think of a Duluth athlete getting a chance with the Vikings in the comments below.
