When Captain Munnerlyn was born in Mobile on April 10, 1988, he weighed 3 pounds, 8 ounces. Three months premature, Munnerlyn was so small in those first weeks of life a shoebox could be used as his bed.
Today, the former Murphy High School football and track standout is a cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings. Given his beginning, it was natural for Munnerlyn to choose to represent the March of Dimes when the NFL came up with its "My Cause, My Cleats" program. The March of Dimes is dedicated to fighting premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality.
