Captain Munnerlyn supports respect for the nickel position’s role in the NFL and the work that the March of Dimes does for premature babies.
Munnerlyn was born three months early and had quite the struggle. At 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds, he’s small in stature but has a large heart.
The Vikings defense has improved in the past two seasons since Head Coach Mike Zimmer moved Munnerlyn inside as part of an overhaul, and Munnerlyn has enjoyed the role.
We caught up with Munnerlyn for a recent Timeout.
