Gaels' Rob Jones spurns Minnesota Vikings

How athletic is former Saint Mary's forward Rob Jones? At least one NFL franchise would have loved to find out. On Monday, Jones's agent told CSNBayArea.com the Minnesota Vikings extended an offer to the former Gaels standout to try out at the team's rookie minicamp. The Vikings are scouring for a tight end, and Jones' frame -- he stands 6-foot-6 and is a well-built 237 pounds -- was apparently enough to draw fleeting comparisons to other hoopsters-turned-NFL-tight ends, like prototype San Diego Chargers star Antonio Gates.
