In today’s NFL, a team needs to have talent available at many positions in order to succeed. For the Minnesota Vikings, the team has been fortunate to have great players on both sides of the ball who have held down positions for several years while playing at an extremely high level.

One such individual who has become a mainstay for the purple and gold is linebacker Eric Kendricks. A second-round pick from the 2015 NFL Draft, the hard-nosed defender has proven himself to excel no matter what he is asked to do in a Mike Zimmer defense.
