Bud Grant: Years as Assistant Helping Mike Zimmer Lead Vikings

The time between the NFL Scouting Combine and NFL Draft is approximately two months each year.

It’s a span that seems to last forever for prospects to wonder what kind of impression they made on members from all 32 teams.

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer wanted a better ending in 19 of those 20 seasons.
