Marcus Sherels returns punt for a touchdown against Panthers

With the offense struggling against a tough Carolina Panthers defense, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to get points on the board any way they can. Considering the squad already got a safety recorded from Danielle Hunter, it looked to be special teams’ turn.

Marcus Sherels is one of the most dangerous punt return specialists in the NFL. Despite not being a regular presence on defense, he earns his way on to the Minnesota roster each and every year by excelling on special teams, where he has made some big plays in the past.

Thankfully, those big plays aren’t just history for the Vikings, as Sherels showed why the team trusts him to give the offense help as a punt returner during the Sunday, September 25, 2016 week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers.
