He may be long shot for comeback award, but Mike Zimmer is thrilled with his play

Former Vikings tight end Steve Jordan was talking about Thursday night’s Ring of Honor ceremony when he took a moment to salute current Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen as an inspiration for people dealing with mental health issues.

“There are so many aspects of mental health that people are talking about more openly and wanting to deal with appropriately,” Jordan said. “Obviously, mental health is starting to become less of a bad moniker. And what Everson has done in the last year, I really think he’s going to be a light for a lot of people because he’s done so well working through his issues.
