The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Asked the name of the surprise player this season, the one who will surprise people with what he does, OC Bill Musgrave replied: "I'd say Simpson."
Reported by the St. Paul Pioneer-Press
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The coach went on to say, "Jerome really has made a good first impression. We cannot hardly wait to get him into games, starting with the fourth one of the season. ..." Simpson will be
suspended for the first three games of the regular season due to a felony drug charge. But the increasing positive buzz the former Bengal has generated since joining the Vikings has been hard to ignore. And thanks to the three-game suspension, he's currently being selected later in drafts than he might otherwise have been. Meanwhile, Musgrave has suggested that Michael Jenkins is the likely starter opposite Percy Harvin during Simpson's league-mandated absence.
