Minnesota Vikings practice rocks thanks to Mike Zimmer

Monday’s practice for the Minnesota Vikings was anything but ordinary. Instead of a standard practice with only whistles and the yelling of coaches or possibly the simulation of crowd noise, a different kind of sound filled the football field: music.

As a reward for the team’s hard work and because of the early start that the Minnesota Vikings got to the 2015 NFL season due to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the squad’s head coach Mike Zimmer decided to let the players pick some music to play during practice. According to ESPN staff writer Ben Goessling, the musical selections were “heavy on hip-hop (Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa) with splashes of Jason Aldean and Nine Inch Nails.
