| “Rhett is a great kid, number one,” Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said on Wednesday at the NFL’s annual meeting in Arizona. “He’s a great competitor. He’s tough. I walked up to him one day during the season last year and I said: ‘Rhett, I want to tell you how much I appreciate how you go about your work, the things you do, the kind of person that you are.’ He’s going to fight and do everything he possibly can to help the team.” ... “He can block defensive ends,” Zimmer said of Ellison, a trait that not all tight ends (and not all Giants offensive tackles) can boast. “And he’s a good guy in the locker room. He’s quiet, but he’s a good guy in the locker room.” |
In his 2nd year he missed 5 games. The last 2 years, he's missed 1 game per.
Give the guy a break, he has an eye.
Since he's been in the NFL, he had a concussion, some on/off ankle stuff, and had the same brutal knee injury Cruz did, which he said lingered in bothering him until scar tissue got broken up.
He's spent a lot of his time on the field blocking though, so he's going to be a little banged up.

Ha!!
He'll set the edge for Perkins to rip off a long gain from time to time too. It'll be nice.
