The already-very-good Minnesota Vikings got even better when they signed free-agent safety George Iloka on Wednesday. And with his signing came a refreshing dose of obvious honesty from head coach Mike Zimmer.
“Honestly we’re just trying to add good football players and we’ll let it all sort out at the end,” Zimmer told the media.
Last year’s top-ranked unit in total defense is, on paper, better and deeper than last season. Iloka, who previously worked with Zimmer in Cincinnati, comes in knowing “probably 85% of the calls” and could essentially unseat Andrew Sendejo, pairing with Harrison Smith.
