In general, special teams don’t get the attention they deserve. Being a touch overlooked, then, shouldn’t be surprising for NaJee Thompson, an UDFA corner who is fighting for a spot on Minnesota’s roster.
Going into the Seahawks game, a lot of Vikings fans would have been unfamiliar with him. Not anymore. In fact, the rookie even got the attention of the league itself, having clips of his tackles shared on the NFL’s Twitter account (the one that has more than 33 million followers). Not a bad way for the young fella to get his name known.
