Vikings rookie defensive back Cam Bynum joins Daily Delivery to recount how he jumped into a lake a couple weeks ago after getting the good news that Minnesota drafted him in the fourth round. He also talks about his transition to safety in the NFL after playing cornerback for four seasons at Cal — a switch that should be easier because he is constantly dreaming up and drawing up new defenses on the white board in his room.
How did rookie Cam Bynum celebrate after being drafted by the Vikings?
Star Tribune outdoors writer Bob Timmons also joins to talk about two different groups led by Minnesotans that are trying to set a record for fastest canoe trip down the length of the Mississippi River. It's a journey that takes more than two weeks and over 2,000 miles to complete.
At the start of the show, Michael Rand cuts through the negativity and finds five things that listeners are excited about or looking forward to in Minnesota sports. Among them: the Wild in the playoffs; the start of the Lynx season; and Wolves rookie Anthony Edwards.
