Logan Brown, the former five-star offensive lineman who played at Wisconsin and transferred to Kansas, has signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent. Originally a highly regarded recruit, Brown faced challenges at Wisconsin, leading to a transfer to Kansas where he had a breakout senior season, starting 11 games with a notable ProFootballFocus grade of 82.5. This unexpected signing adds depth to the Vikings' offensive line.

Brown's recruitment was initially marked by high expectations, ranking as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2019 class. However, he struggled to find a consistent role at Wisconsin before flourishing at Kansas. His journey reflects a common path for highly touted recruits who face adversity but manage to re-establish themselves at a new program.

The Kansas City Chiefs recently hosted their annual local pro day at the University of Kansas Health System Training Facility, showcasing a handful of impressive local prospects. Among the notable names were offensive linemen Logan Brown, Easton Kilty, and Cam'Ron Johnson, who have all played for local college teams including the Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats.

Also in attendance were standout players from the NCAA Division II, such as Concordia Golden Bears running back Jaylin Richardson and Western Missouri State Griffons wide receiver Jonas Bennett, both looking to impress NFL scouts. The Chiefs, who previously drafted Felix Anudike-Uzomah from Kansas City, may be eyeing more local talent for their upcoming draft picks.
