Some thoughts on the Vikings' undrafted free agents by Mike Wobschall of Vikings.com, and I think this pretty well sums it up for where TH stands right now. It's up to him to impress the coaches and make the final 53-man roster.

What do you think are the chances for some of these undrafted free agents, such as QB Taylor Heinicke , SAnthony Harris , and WR Devaris Daniels, to make the final roster?

Undrafted does not mean undeserving. Every year, undrafted players make NFL rosters and become contributors and sometimes even stars. Two of the best players in Vikings history were undrafted and are Hall of Famers – John Randle and Mick Tingelhoff (he’ll be enshrined this summer). But just because it’s happened before doesn’t mean it’s going to happen again, and there are far more undrafted players who go unnoticed than who wind up making rosters. Only time will tell how this year’s crop of Vikings undrafted players do, but now that they’re on a roster, they have a shot.

Highlight video of the Vikings' OTA workouts on Wednesday, 6/3. It's not much, but there is a "cameo" appearance by TH at the 1:35 mark. Now we at least know he is getting some reps.

Any updates on what is going on with Richard Ross and the other?

Here is a highlights video of the Monday Vikings OTA. I think you might enjoy the last play!

Thanks for sharing. Perfect pass and a good job of Ross getting separation. FWIW, their corners were getting smoked throughout that highlight.

Where was Ross on the video? I didn't see him. I saw TH.

Of course, we hope that Taylor does well on the field, but it's great to see that he is already doing good--http://www.vikings.com/news/article-1/Vikings-Host-Special-Olympians-for-PPK-Contest/be062a83-2917-49f6-bcc8-d5c4ba91b41a

Taylor's pass was thrown to number 14, Stephan Diggs. I guess, upon quick glance, "Diggs" on the back of the jersey might have looked like Ross.

The last I heard Richard Ross was trying out with the San Diego Chargers.

Stefon Diggs is a rookie WR from Maryland. He seems to be having some good days at the OTAs. That was a pretty darn good throw from TH.

Diggs scored against us in 2013 I think.

Yeah, watching on my phone it did indeed look like Ross on the jersey. I thought he looked a little skinny. My bad.

Ross is not currently on an NFL roster. He had tryouts with the Vikings and Chargers but was not offered a contract by either team.

Really proud of Ross even if the NFL thing doesn't shake out in his favor. He's been exemplary of the talent, drive, and toughness that I've come to expect from all things ODU. He'll find success wherever life takes him and whatever he ends up doing.

Here is the Vikings day 9 highlights video. You can see TH at 0:13 and again at 0:30 -- getting the job done!
