The Vikings talked with a familiar face for Minnesota football fans at the combine in Indianapolis.
Per Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune, the Vikings had an informal meeting with the University of Minnesota linebacker Carter Coughlin.
Cool moment for #Gophers LB Carter Coughlin at the NFL combine as he had informal meeting with hometown #Vikings — looked up and it was former U teammate Nick Rallis, a defensive quality control coach with the Vikings.

In four years with the Gophers, Coughlin had 158 tackles (40 for loss) and 22.5 sacks.
Coughlin doesn’t have a lot of pro buzz, but could potentially be a special teams player or someone who lands on a practice squad.
