From Vikings.com:
Vikings defensive tackles Linval Joseph and Sheldon Richardson explained how excited they are to work together to “Voice of the Vikings” Paul Allen on KFAN 100.3-FM’s 9 to Noon show from TCO Studios in a segment that aired Friday.
Richardson signed with Minnesota as a free agent in March and will play alongside Joseph, who has been to two straight Pro Bowls.
“I try to know a lot of great defensive linemen in the league and definitely knew about Linval,” Richardson said. “Actually coming here, working out with him and getting to know him, he’s put me through the ringer a little bit. It’s been awhile since somebody has pushed me like that.”
Added Joseph: “I knew he was a very explosive player. He made a lot of plays when he was in New York. I was excited to get a young, 3-technique and just to see what he can bring to the table. He has the chance to be really great.”
Joseph led all Vikings defensive linemen with 93 tackles (coaches’ tally) and was a key factor in Minnesota ranking second in the NFL in rush yards allowed (83.6 per game). He also had 3.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
He explained how the duo’s relationship has grown in recent weeks as the Vikings have jumped into their voluntary offseason workout program.
“At the end of the day, we have to work together. I want him to be the best he can be,” Joseph said. “I know if I help him and teach him what I know or show him what I see, it can make him be more fast and explosive.
