No one has embraced being an NFL rookie more than Minnesota Vikings fourth-round draft pick Akayleb Evans.
The former University of Missouri cornerback is quickly becoming a fan favorite through his willingness to interact with Vikings’ diehards on social media.
If he isn’t entertaining fans with the daily escapades of his pet rabbit, Benji, he’s handing out challenges like the one he recently did to grow his social media following. Vikings fans were given the challenge of helping the rookie defensive back get to 20,000 followers. If Evans reached that goal, he agreed to dye his hair purple.
