About Marcus Sherels

Marcus Sherels: The Underrated Hero of American Football

Marcus Sherels was born on September 30, 1987, in Rochester, Minnesota. He grew up playing football and excelled in the sport during his high school years. However, despite his talent, he was not heavily recruited by college teams and ended up playing for the University of Minnesota as a walk-on.

Despite the odds against him, Sherels proved himself to be a valuable player for the Golden Gophers. He was a standout on special teams, earning All-Big Ten honors in 2009. After going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, Sherels signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a free agent.

Sherels quickly made a name for himself as a punt returner for the Vikings. He holds the franchise record for most career punt return yards and has scored five touchdowns on punt returns, tying an NFL record. In addition to his special teams contributions, Sherels has also played as a cornerback for the Vikings, making crucial interceptions and tackles.

Despite his success, Sherels has remained humble and focused on his team's success. He has been praised by coaches and teammates for his work ethic and dedication to the game. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has called Sherels "one of the most underrated players in the league."

Off the field, Sherels is known for his charitable work. He has been involved with the Vikings' "Fuel Up to Play 60" program, which encourages healthy eating and physical activity for children. He has also supported the United Way and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

In a league where star players often receive the most attention, Marcus Sherels has quietly become a hero for the Minnesota Vikings. His contributions on special teams and as a cornerback have helped the team win crucial games, and his dedication to his community has made him a beloved figure in Minnesota.
