It didn’t take long for Marcus Sherels to find a new team

When he was given a shot to make the roster as an undrafted rookie by the Minnesota Vikings in 2010, no one really expected much from Marcus Sherels. But he actually ended up finding his way onto the Vikings’ active roster that year and that was the beginning of a career full of proving people wrong for Sherels.

Since he was a bit undersized to be an effective defensive back in the NFL, he ultimately found a role with Minnesota as the team’s return specialist. Sherels was the Vikings’ full-time punt returner from 2011 to 2018 and he even had a brief stint with the team this season.
