The Minnesota safety donned a backward black hat during training camp with the phrase “Make Football Violent Again.” According to Sendejo, the hat was a gift from a former Vikings teammate.

Though Sendejo said he has been wearing the hat for a while, its message “applies more now” because of an already controversial new rule installed by the league aimed at making the game safer.

Asked what he thinks about the new rule, Sendejo replied, “I don’t.”
He later tweeted an image of him wearing a modified helmet “always leading with the facemask.” I like this guy.
