Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 12:22 amFor Zach Line, Day-to-Day Has Become Year-to-Year
The undrafted rookie beat the odds to make the Vikings’ 53-man roster. Now the 23-year-old fullback has locked onto a new mission: rehabbing his shoulder and returning as an impact player in 2014
Zach Line had some down time on Saturday afternoon. He was at home, in the Eden Prairie duplex he moved into two months ago, relaxing with his dogs, Addaline and Olive. He and his fiancée, McKenzie, planned to drive into downtown Minneapolis to watch the city’s Holidazzle parade after she finished her work shift at the Mall of America.
Line glanced at the clock. Nearly 5 p.m. He knew what that meant. Elsewhere in the Twin Cities, Vikings players were starting to arrive at the team’s hotel. They’d soon begin meetings to go over the game plan for the Eagles. They’d also learn that the top two running backs, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart, would be sidelined with injuries on Sunday.
Finally, a wide-open backfield. If only, right?
