The seat of Minnesota Vikings general mananger Rick Spielman is comfortably tepid.
When considering the Vikings’ run to the NFC Championship, it’s certain the Pro Football Weekly NFL Executive of the Year has played an irreplaceable role in Minnesota’s ascent to the upper-echelon of the NFC.
Through the draft and free agency, Spielman, along with help from Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer, has completely revamped the defense, building one of the top units in team history. And despite a flurry of misfortune the last few years from the quarterback position, the offense has been proven, at the very least, as competent.
