MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Linval Joseph is the biggest part of the Minnesota Vikings’ defense – literally. That’s what makes this story so unique, because growing up he had to learn how to grow up, as a new kid in school and a victim of bullying.
Joseph is a force in the NFL, and he’s been the man in the middle of the defense since he came into the league with the New York Giants.
It’s hard to believe the mammoth of a man was a victim of bullying.
“I got bullied a lot when I was younger, and it actually helped me become who I am today,” Joseph said.
