Kevin O’Connell Ready to Lead Vikings in ‘Class on the Grass’EAGAN, Minn. — It’s time for class on the grass.

That’s the term Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell used to describe the upcoming phase of Minnesota’s voluntary offseason program.Minnesota Vikings Svg, Minnesota Vikings Logo NFL Svg, Vikings Svg, NFL Svg, NFL Sport Svg

O’Connell spoke to Twin Cities media members last week, and the enthusiasm was evident in his voice.

“No better place to coach, in my opinion, than on the grass with your players,” O’Connell said. “This phase, the Phase 2, especially for an early-on staff, doing things for the first time, it basically turns into ‘class on the grass’ in a lot of ways.”
