PLUS THREE FROM PATRICK
Notorious rejecters of Minnesota:
• Jack Snow. The Vikings took the Notre Dame receiver No. 8 overall in 1965. He refused to play here (too cold) and was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
• Rick Mahorn. The Wolves' first choice in 1989 expansion draft. Detroit's Baddest Boy threatened to sign with an Italian team and was traded to Philly.
• Travis Lee. The No. 2 overall pick in 1996, the first baseman and his agent put the screws to the Twins, manipulating a path to free agency.
