Matt Birk Reflects On His Vikings Career
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Matt Birk lived the hometown dream. He grew up in St Paul to become a Minnesota Viking and Pro Bowl center.
“I think as time goes on its just more unbelievable,” Birk said. “I can’t really believe that it happened, you know, the way that it worked out, to be able to play 11 years for the Vikings; the team that after church, my dad and my brothers and I would run home to get in front of the TV to watch them. I mean, personally, I didn’t grow up playing football, so just to have it turn out that way is kind of like a one-in-a-million thing.”
