The words "sneaky little boy" aren't the ones that come to mind when you stand across from Jacky Chen.
Chen is 6-4. He's 302 pounds. He's a boulder with tattoos.
But ask Jacky or his mother or anybody else who knows him, and they will tell you Jacky's unlikely football journey never would have begun — let alone reached the NFL as an undrafted Vikings rookie — had Jacky not been a very "sneaky little boy" with a mother dead set against him playing football seven years ago.
"He tricked me to play football," says his mother, June.
