The man in the ski cap and hoodie was staring through a window at the new purple banner announcing the Minnesota Vikings'division crown. From behind, as he stood in a cafeteria,this average-size Joe could have passed for a food-service worker or a fan who had won a contest for a tour of the team facility.
Case Keenum does not look like a quarterback drafted by an NFL team for a damn good reason: He wasn't.
It was a Tuesday, the players'off day following their division-clinching beatdown of the Cincinnati Bengals in mid-December,and an operations crew had just hung

Keenum doesn't believe in off days,so he was the first to see this tribute to the 2017 NFC North champs--the last of its kind to hang over the indoor practice field in the Minneapolis suburb of Eden Prairie,ID'd on the street corner by a tattered Viking ship encased in snow and ice.
The team will pack everything later this winter and move to upgraded digs in Eagan, about 20 miles to the east. Nobody is sure whether Keenum will be along for the ride.
And that's fine and dandy for now.Keenum is not thinking about free agency--whether he might head to another franchise in a package deal with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur,or if Minnesota could still prefer the returning Sam Bradford and/or the returned Teddy Bridgewater as its 2018 starter.
Short term? Keenum is thinking about beating the New Orleans Saints in Sunday's divisional round matchup at U.S. Bank

"I don't think anybody wants to be sitting here
Authentic Matt Paradis Jersey in February and watch somebody else play in it," Keenum said. He retreated a bit from that statement, swearing that the team wasn't looking ahead at a magical shot to earn the franchise's first Super Bowl championship,in its own building,after four losses in the big game and no appearances since the 1976 season.
Keenum apologized for the cliché, but said the Vikings were taking it day by day. If there's anyone who knows that NFL life is a day-to-day proposition, it's the quarterback of the NFC's No. 2 seed.
