During his tenure as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, Mike Zimmer hasn’t been afraid to take a chance on a few guys regardless of their past troubles.
Most recently, Zimmer and the Vikings brought in cornerback Holton Hill last year as an undrafted free agent despite a history of failing drug tests during his college career at Texas. Currently, Hill is serving an eight-game suspension for testing positive for PEDs and violating the league’s policy on substances of abuse.
On Wednesday, Zimmer spoke with the local Minnesota media and he was asked if the team looked into signing current Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict this offseason if Anthony Barr decided to leave.
