MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It feels like the Minnesota Vikings’ coaches are just waiting for someone to unseat Robert Blanton, who started 13 games last season largely because they felt he was the best of some not-great options.
If they are waiting to be wowed, maybe Antone Exum Jr. just needs another game.
“I don’t go in like, ‘Man, I got to show them this or I got to show them that.’ Hopefully my ability will take over when I’m in the game, and, you know, I can show what I need to,” Exum said.
Two pre-season games into his second NFL season, Exum has two takeaways: a fumble recovery against the Steelers and an interception on an over-thrown ball against the Buccaneers.
