NFL: Favre: Fitting in with Vikings ’work in progress’


By JON KRAWCZYNSKI

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre has been in Minnesota for only 10 days, so he’s still getting acquainted with his new Vikings teammates.

The 39-year-old quarterback says he’s been staying late at team headquarters to study film and learn the tendencies of his new receivers. He’s also getting to know the rest of the team on a personal level, something he says will take more than a week to accomplish.
Favre calls it “a work in progress.” But he also says he is confident that he will fit in just fine in Minnesota because “that’s an easy thing for me to do.”
He has already gotten ringing endorsements from several veterans on the Vikings roster, including guard Steve Hutchinson, running back Adrian Peterson and defensive end Jared Allen.
