Vikings and Boehringer make NFL Draft history
History was made on Saturday as Moritz Boehringer became the first player to be drafted from a foreign league by an NFL team.
Minnesota Vikings became the first NFL franchise to draft a player from a foreign league when they picked up Moritz Boehringer on Saturday.
When the Vikings got to their sixth-round pick, they took the German wider receiver from Schwabisch Hall Unicorns of the German Football League with the 180th overall pick.
Boehringer told NFL Network the Vikings were the one team that scouted him the most heavily.
"I can't describe how I feel right now. It's overwhelming," Boehringer, who has been an admirer of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, told NFL Network following his selection. "It's the coolest thing ever."
