EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer wasn’t the one to draft Chad Greenway, but he’s saying goodbye now to the type of player he would have hand-selected.
Zimmer was just one of 77 people that Greenway thanked during his retirement press conference on Wednesday. The two have spent three seasons together, since Zimmer joined the Vikings in 2014, and Greenway credits the coach for his success during that time.
The journey wasn’t always an easy one.
Greenway felt like he was back at square one when Zimmer took the reins, but his competitive nature welcomed the challenge.
