Vikings sign a gigantic Polish offensive tackle named Babatunde

The Vikings signed a big man who helped the Giants win a championship.

OK, so it was the Wroclaw Giants of the Polish American Football League, but this guy is already an early favorite here at PFT.

According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, the Vikings signed Babatunde Aiyegbusi, a 6-foot-9, 351-pound offensive tackle, who also played for the Dresden Monarchs of the German league.

The native of Olesnica would be just the fifth Polish-born player in the NFL if he made it, along with defensive tackle Jason Maniecki and kickers Chester Marcol, Rich Szaro and Sebastian Janikowski.

He’d also be only the second guy in league history named Babatunde, after former Browns sixth-rounder Babatunde Oshinowo, a defensive tackle from Stanford.

For that reason alone, we hope the big fella makes it.

Not a Vikings fan..well, the show hell yes, but not the team.

BTW that team signed Brock Lesnar at one point and time...

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Man, he was a punishing road grader in that league. Huge too.

Looks like an absolute monster. On 3rd and short, just run it behind him and you should be good to go. Not sure if he will ever be a an effective pass blocker in the NFL though.

Vikings’ giant Polish lineman plans to “put J.J. Watt to the ground”
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 16, 2015

We at PFT continue to be fans of Babatunde Aiyegbusi, the 6-foot-9, 351-pound offensive tackle signed by the Vikings last month.

Granted, we don’t know much about Aiyegbusi, whose football career consists of playing for the Wroclaw Giants of the Polish American Football League. But we like Aiyegbusi’s spirit.

Tom Pelissero of USA Today caught up with Aiyegbusi and found that he’s not satisfied with just signing an NFL contract. Instead, Aiyegbusi is focused on taking on the best defensive lineman in the NFL, and winning. Aiyegbusi told Vikings director of pro scouting Ryan Monnens that he’s not celebrating just being in the NFL. He’ll save his celebration for when he kicks Texans defensive end J.J. Watt’s butt on the field.

“What surprised Ryan – I wasn’t jumping around, like big, happy of signing it,” Aiyegbusi said. “He was like, ‘Are you not happy?’ I said, ‘I will be happy when I put J.J. Watt to the ground.'”

That’s unlikely, and not just because the Vikings don’t play the Texans this year. If Aiyegbusi sticks with the Vikings at all, it’s more likely to be on the practice squad than the 53-player roster. But this is a young man who has the self-confidence to match his size. That’s hard not to like.

I would just remove the link - if a site has malicious intent there are many ways to get something onto your computer...pretty common way is through stenography now, or hiding something in images that your computer auto downloads to load the page.

 

[VegasRam]

Those sneaky bastards.:huh:

 

[RamFan503]

I guess we'll see how he compares to NFL caliber players. The film looked like he was playing with city semi-pro players.

 

[Selassie I]

Apparently, nobody has told this lug that he is now a viqueen.

Poor bastard.

 

[shaunpinney]

love the block about 1:10 in on that first video, he just floors the guy!
