NFL.com picks Eric Kendricks as Viking to cheer for in 2021

Every offseason, Adam Rank from NFL.com puts together players to root for from each team for the upcoming season.

For the Vikings, Rank selected linebacker Eric Kendricks.

Here’s what Rank wrote about the 2019 All-Pro:

I’ve been a huge Kendricks fan since his days at UCLA. (I even remember him playing with my nephew at Hoover High School in Fresno.) Eric is widely regarded as one of the nicest players in the NFL.

Not only is Kendricks one of the best linebackers in the NFL, he’s great in the community as well.

If you’re wondering who Rank picked for the Packers, it was not Aaron Rodgers.

You can check out Rank’s full list of players to root for here.
