per Souhan:
When the Vikings re-signed him last week, Sherels was set up to play a sixth season in the NFL.
As Sherels’ mentor, Thompson is not surprised.
He sees one physical and one emotional reason for Sherels’ longevity.
The physical: “I noticed at Minnesota that he had the ability to close,” Thompson said. “Closing speed is hard to describe, but he had the ability to accelerate when most people don’t.”
The emotional: “As a mentor, you’re there for everything,’’ Thompson said. “If he had life problems, or lady troubles or academic problems, I was there for him. Marcus actually had none of those. I had other athletes that were or are troubled. Not Marcus.”
