"Unexpectedly."

What was the vaxx status?

I'd bet anything he was "fully vaxxed."

He was an assistant coach for the Vikings when his father, Mike Zimmer, was the head coach.

Here are a couple of blasts from the past on this issue:

New info reveals why Mike Zimmer is so disappointed in his players

Article says:

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Minnesota Vikings have the lowest rate of fully vaccinated players in the entire NFL ... During the last few weeks, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has made several comments about why he believes it’s important for his players to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Most recently, the Minnesota head coach sounded hopeless as he talked about the fact that he knows there are certain guys on the team’s roster that he will never be able to convince to get vaccinated.

So yeah, I'm guessing the son was just as stupid as the father.

I remember that, early on, there were 77 NFL players who "tested positive" for the coof. Then, those same players had samples sent to a DIFFERENT LAB, and ALL 77 "tested negative." That was one of the early data points that made me do some research, which led me down the rabbit hole.

I am guessing that there were several Vikings players who did the same thing.

But not the coach, or his son most likely.
