MANKATO, Minn. - Former Minnesota Vikings tight end Jim Kleinsasser visited the team's training camp and said he likes what he sees out of this year's team.

"It's fun being back and seeing it all on the other side," Kleinsasser said.

He told Mike Wobschall of Vikings.com in an interview (watch here) that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater impresses him.

"They look great. The offense is moving the ball, and just watching Teddy over there in the one-on-one drills putting balls in the basket consistently. It's good to see."

The former University of North Dakota standout from Carrington, N.D., was the Vikings' second-round pick in 1999. He retired after 13 seasons with 192 career receptions for 1,688 yards and 43 rushes for 147 yards.

"Hot day like this, it makes you appreciate being done," he said.
