Or so Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer joked about not having an opportunity to loosen up the arm of 14-year veteran Shaun Hill the day after Saturday night’s practice.
Another joke Hill has heard in camp is about how helmets have changed, as in they aren’t made of leather as they were earlier in his career.
It’s all in good fun, and Hill showed Saturday night that he can fling it in the pass-happy modern era of football. He had a couple of touchdowns to rookie Stefon Diggs and hit Cordarrelle Patterson in stride on a deep route.
