If there’s one player that really didn’t buy what Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was selling it’s former safety/linebacker/nickel corner Jayron Kearse. Kearse seemingly couldn’t get out of Minnesota fast enough after the 2019 season, signing with NFC North…. Rival? Not really, let’s settle with NFC North Work Acquaintance the Detroit Lions.
Kearse seemingly had the same issue (on the field) that he did in Minnesota, as he just doesn’t really fit anywhere perfectly (just lots of places imperfectly). Too big to be a safety or especially nickel back, too small to be a linebacker, too much a boy for crazy town (and too crazy for boy’s town).
