During Mike ZImmer’s first training camp as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings in 2014, Kurt Coleman was competing for a spot on the team’s starting defense. Coleman was coming off four solid seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and was believed to be a contender for the one of the Vikings’ two starting safety spots.
However, Minnesota didn’t like what they saw from Coleman in camp or during the preseason and decided not to include him on their regular season roster for 2014.
Since then, the safety has spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers.
