Heading into the 2015 season, one question buzzing around the Minnesota Vikings is who will start at safety opposite locked-in Harrison Smith.
Although Robert Blanton looks to have that upper hand, Antone Exum, Jr. is making his case on the field to earn a starting slot. Exum, unofficially slated as the second safety behind Smith, knows he has a lot to offer this team.
“I bring a physical mentality to the table, and a playmaking ability,” Exum said. “I can affect the game, make big plays. I think I’m a high-energy guy.”
Football has always been in Exum’s blood.
