4. Knows his 'Q'
Tim and Sherri hosted tailgates for dozens of people before Bears games with help from their oldest son, Dustin, who played at Texas State. Dustin hauled a large smoker to prepare ribs, wings, steaks, burgers and sausage to games and to a scaled-down draft party.
Incidentally, James was asked to give his opinion on his favorite barbecue spots in Texas.
"Franklin's is the best tasting, obviously, but I find it hard to wait two-and-a-half hours to get food, so for me, I'm just going to go more the efficient route and I'd go more for Salt Lick," James said.
5. He wanted to be a Viking
Lynch played "everything" on the defensive line in Baylor's defense, but it's likely that most of his work with the Vikings will be at the 3-technique defensive tackle spot.
He said he watched the Vikings "play a lot" in 2019.
"You see the way the d-line plays and the way their team plays and the way that their d-line has grown, you see a good defense, and they're salty," said Lynch, who added that he instantly felt comfortable in at the combine when meeting with the Vikings coaching staff.
"They wanted to talk football, and it made it easy for me," Lynch said. "I knew with Coach [Mike] Zimmer and the way he was that I'd fit well. I also watched Minnesota play as a kid, and I like the new stadium and facilities and stuff, so they have everything you could ever ask for. To be able to go there whenever I get the chance to is going to be an awesome feeling."
