This offseason, the Minnesota Vikings made Kevin O’Connell the second-youngest head coach in the National Football League at the age of 37. The only younger NFL coach is O’Connell’s former boss with the Los Angeles Rams, Sean McVay (age 36). There are a lot of talented folks that are under the age of 40 in the NFL, and O’Connell is being recognized among them by The Athletic.
Lindsay Jones of The Athletic has put together the site’s “40 Under 40” list in the National Football League for this year, and O’Connell is one of five NFL head coaches that made it.
