The Minnesota Vikings have switched Joe Webb to a full-time wide receiver for the Vikings, Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Coach Leslie Frazier said the decision to shift Webb to receiver was made after the draft, when the team selected receiver Cordarrelle Patterson in the first round and also because the Vikings had signed free agent quarterback Matt Cassel. “We had been talking about it for a while, and we made the decision that this was the way to go after we had our draft,†Frazier said. Webb said he was told of the decision on the first day of the teams workouts. “When I came back … Coach brought me in the office and talked to me about the different plans they had and stuff.†Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said Webb has done a good job catching the ball, and there’s a belief that because of his speed the coaches figure they can use Webb as a member of special teams and in other ways on offense.
