MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — They started like so many, with wide eyes and big dreams of that one day they would play in the “Big Game.”
That big game is Sunday for five former Minnesota high school football players: four for the Minnesota Vikings, one for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Michael Floyd knew long before he was a first round pick in the NFL he wanted to play in the NFL. He was considered a four-star recruit at Cretin-Derham Hall — and his dream came true.
“Growing up, you want to be in this kind of situation, and not too many guys get this experience, so it’s, like I said, a dream come true,” he said.
