Former Minnesota Vikings linebacker Todd Davis is retiring from the NFL after a brief stint with the New York Giants.

2020 was an incredibly strange season for the Minnesota Vikings, especially for a team with Mike Zimmer as their head coach.

Zimmer prides himself on having teams with elite defenses and last year, the Vikings were terrible on the defensive side of the ball. But with the unit full of inexperience and replacements for injured players, the performance of Minnesota’s defense in 2020 wasn’t too surprising.
