MANKATO, Minn. – Vikings coaches noticed the way Shamar Stephen worked his way back from an injury, and now he’s making an impression with the job he’s doing on the field.
“I think he’s done a great job [this offseason],” Vikings Defensive Coordinator George Edwards said Monday. “I mean, Shamar has a great work ethic – he was in the building every single day getting ready. He really worked hard to get to the point where he is right now.”
A seventh-round draft pick in 2014, Stephen impressed coaches early on as a rookie and played in all 16 games.
