Meet the Vikings’ Rookie Pass Rusher Who Cheered for the Bears and Dreams of Sacking Aaron Rodgers

The NFL is chock-full of long and strong players, yet Andre Carter II is still going to stand out.

The Vikings’ rookie pass rusher stands at a towering 6’7″ and has unusually long arms, a desirable trait for someone in his line of work. Unfortunately, he’s working through an injury that will sideline him for the early days of training camp. As an UDFA, Carter needs all the reps he can get, especially since the competition for a depth edge rusher role is going to be intense.

Nevertheless, fans have reason to be encouraged by what the former Army pass rusher can offer the Vikings.
