It has been eight seasons since the Minnesota Vikings had a full-time punt returner not named Marcus Sherels.
Since 2011, Sherels has returned 231 punts for 2,447 yards (10.6 per return) and five touchdowns. Each of these totals are easily at the top of the list when it comes to the Vikings’ all-time punt return records.
However, Sherels has decided to see if the grass is a little greener outside of Minnesota and he has signed with the New Orleans Saints. With this unfortunate news, the Vikings must now find someone new to return punts for them in 2019.
