More Info
Derrick Pope joins the Minnesota Vikings with a little more NFL football action than many other new players.

After attending the University of Alabama and racking up 170 tackles, 6 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, Derrick Pope was signed to the Miami Dolphins in 2004. It was a 4 year contract worth around $1.4 million.

Derrick Pope went to business making a name for himself on the Miami Dolphins. After just a year, Derrick Pope was starting and making many important tackles each game.

On March 14, 2008, Derrick Pope was signed to the Minnesota Vikings. Since he had a season-high 5 tackles against the Minnesota Vikings back in 2006, hopefully he will use that same energy to join his once rival team.
