Mickey Plyler on Vinson: We didn't get to see Vinson much as a senior due to injury but his junior film looked good. I think he can play inside or outside. A lot of his early progress will depend on his health but he has a good upside. The Tiger staff could afford to be very selective in this class with offensive linemen and this is one they focused in on very early in the process.
