The General Manager of the Minnesota Vikings is out of his job in large part because of the quarterback situation where he let Sam Darnold go after a very successful season in a Vikings uniform, and now Darryl is playing in the Super Bowl with the Seahawks.
Another factor is he was the least experienced general manager hires in recent NFL history. He never played or coached football before. After years as a Wall Street commodities trader, he worked in the NBA before taking an entry-level analytics job with the 49ers in 2013.
Time for the Name Game. Who was the Vikings GM that was just let go after 4 seasons. Is it Adofo Mensah Kwesi, Kwesi Mensah Adofo, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah or Bart Simpson?
Answer: Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
