Best of the Sixth Round
The Vikings selected 62 players in sixth rounds of the first 60 NFL Drafts in franchise history.
Joe Senser, TE | No. 152 Overall, 1979 | Years with Vikings: 1980-84
After not playing in 1979, Senser suited up for all 16 games of the 1980 season and emerged as a threat in the passing game. He recorded 42 receptions for 447 yards, ranking fifth on the team in each category, and led Minnesota with seven touchdown catches, which was two more than the five apiece recorded by Sammy White and Ahmad Rashad.
Senser followed with quite an encore, again leading the team in touchdown catches with eight and posting 1,004 receiving yards, which edged out 1,001 by White for the most on the squad. His 79 receptions that season ranked second on the club and led to a Pro Bowl selection for the tight end.

CARMEL, Ind. (Inside INdiana Business) Carmel-based Byrider has launched a new model it says will create an easier entry point into its franchising system. The used car dealership says the Byrider Direct program allows franchisees to focus exclusively on sales and service.
The company says its traditional franchise model requires an estimated initial investment of around $1 million. With the new program, Byrider says franchisees will be able to make a lower initial investment without having to focus on the financing arm of operating a franchise, which includes underwriting and collection.
“Underwriting and servicing a portfolio can be a very complex and capital-intensive part of the buy-here-pay-here business model,” said Chief Executive Officer of Craig Peters. “Byrider Direct addresses those potential challenges by allowing new franchisees to focus on retail and gives them a new access point in line with

The Air Force found that the driver of the Army-owned Polaris Ranger failed to follow its owner’s manual, and violated multiple Air Force and Defense Department safety regulations by taking the vehicle out for a reason unrelated to work and attempting to pull a fast U-turn on the sand.
