Former NFL quarterback Kellen Mond is reflecting on his brief stint in Minnesota—and the lesson he says it taught him about leadership inside an NFL building. This is heartbreaking: Former Vikings’ QB Kellen Mond posted an emotional and detailed recount of his time in Minnesota, saying he was miserable and that his former HC, Mike Zimmer, never spoke to him during his rookie season because he didn’t want the team to draft him. Mond, now 26, shared a candid LinkedIn post revisiting his entry into the league after being selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
