  • “Udeze not bothered by slipping out of top 10,” St. Paul Pioneer Press, April 25, 2004. In this story about Minnesota Vikings 20th draft pick Keneche Udeze: “Perhaps the only person more ecstatic than Baker is Thomas Barnes, Udeze's eldest brother.

“Barnes graduated from the University of St. Thomas, got his law degree at the University of Minnesota and joined the Minneapolis law firm Rider Bennett in 2002.

“Barnes decided to leave Rider Bennett and serve as his youngest brother's agent. Barnes left the Twin Cities just a week ago, moving back to the Los Angeles area, where their family still lives, with the intention of recruiting more USC players and commuting to where Udeze would play.

“‘I'm one of the biggest Minnesota Viking fans,’ Barnes said minutes after Udeze was selected. ‘This is just an unbelievable day.’

“Barnes added that he intended to see if Rider Bennett would give him his job back, something he confirmed later in the afternoon.

“That might be a good idea; the Vikings expect Udeze to be around for a long time.” https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/8513092.htm
