Where are they now - Nat Dorsey / Tony Hargrove

Nat reaches terms with the Vikings with a 3-year deal - link here........ Here's mention of Dorsey and his prospects for playing this season:

Dorsey, the team’s fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech, has the size and athleticism to play left tackle. He needs a year to increase strength. If Rosenthal leaves, look for Dorsey to step in at RT.
Meanwhile, nice mention on Tony Hargrove in this article about the Ram's defense heading into the pre-season.
Perhaps the most intriguing prospect of the group is rookie Anthony Hargrove. Hargrove has been one of the camp’s early standouts, showing a quick burst and enough strength to pound against the run.

After missing his final season at Georgia Tech because of academic problems, Hargrove took a job at Hartsfield Airport as a “plane pusher,” helping Delta move planes in and out and riding alongside the planes to make sure the wings don’t hit anything.

Hargrove said he didn’t like having to wear the uniform Delta gave him because it was too small. That was the least of his worries there, however.

“I was always thinking NFL,” Hargrove said. “Working 9 to 5 behind a desk, I couldn’t do it. I knew this was where I wanted to be and I had to do whatever it took to get here.”
