MANKATO, Minn. —Running back Bishop Sankey noticed a familiar name when the Vikings added linebacker Darnell Sankey to their roster Saturday morning.
The two are cousins, so you’d expect them to relish having a familiar face to lean on during the dog days of camp.
But the twist is that Bishop and Darnell had never met before Friday when Darnell arrived in Mankato for a workout and earned a spot on the camp roster.
Wait, what?
“I didn’t really know he was my cousin until I put two and two together,” Bishop said.
