On Thursday, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer described rookie wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette with a word that he only saves for special players.

During his multiple decades of coaching in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has developed a reputation of sharing his true thoughts on a subject no matter who disagrees with his opinion.

Zimmer has never been afraid to criticize a player in the public eye, and while it’s gotten him in some trouble in the past (see Sharrif Floyd), the guys in his locker room typically appreciate his honesty.
