PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE LEAGUE : Vikings Sign Gino Torretta
Gino Torretta, who won the Heisman Trophy as college football’s top player but was virtually overlooked in the NFL draft, signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings.
Torretta guided Miami to an unbeaten regular season and No. 1 ranking last season, but the Hurricanes lost a national championship showdown to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
He was selected in the seventh round of the draft.
