The Minnesota Vikings selected Ohio State interior offensive lineman Pat Elflein at 70th overall Friday.
Elflein allowed 1 or fewer QB pressures in nine of 13 games in 2016 at center.
Elflein's 83.8 run-blocking grade in 2016 was second-best among all FBS centers.
Highlighting his versatility, he registered six “perfect” pass-blocking games (0 QB pressures) aligned at guard in 2015.
If anything, Elflein enjoyed his best form at guard, registering an 82.5 overall grade two seasons ago.
