Where are they now - Nat Dorsey / Kelly Campbell

Well, "old" Nat had a good day for his first snaps in the NFL

NO FOOLING - DORSEY NOT A LIABILITY

"I'll tell you, Nat Dorsey is a tough guy,'' Culpepper said. "He was the man down at Georgia Tech, and he expects to play. He expects to be out on the field, and he did a tremendous job stepping in there.''

Tice has been fond of Dorsey since he first got a gander of the 6-foot-7, 335-pound youngster. That is the right word — youngster. Dorsey turned 21 on Sept. 9, making him the youngest player on the team.

"I'm a line coach,'' Tice said. "From the first day, I knew he'd be a player. The only problem was people questioned his work ethic.''

That work ethic might be the reason Dorsey lasted until the fourth round. It sure hasn't been an issue with the Vikings.

CULPEPPER SAYS YOUNG LINEMAN DID GOOD

"They did a good job," Culpepper said. "We did a great job. I give my offensive line credit, especially on the right side, the young guys stepping up, picking up the protection, giving me a chance to look downfield and make plays."

KELLY CAMPBEL HANDLING KICK-OFF DUTIES

Kelly Campbell returned kickoffs for the first time this year, totaling 66 yards on three attempts. He ran one back for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but it was wiped out by a penalty.
