Vikings coach Mike Zimmer praises new Giants tight end Rhett Ellison

PHOENIX — Rhett Ellison’s previous head coach thinks the Giants are getting a very good player.

“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.
