Blake Cashman jokes about what winning a Super Bowl could mean for him
Vikings LB Blake Cashman would love to bring a Super Bowl to his hometown team.
Blake Cashman, a third-year player with the Minnesota Vikings, grew up in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and played for the Minnesota Golden Gophers from 2015-18. Currently, the Vikings boast a 5-0 record, led by a defense that ranks first in EPA/play and DVOA. Cashman has been a leader in the defense, registering 2.5 sacks and a 29.5 QB pressure rate, which tops the list among players with at least 30 pass-rush snaps.
The Vikings have a chance to compete for a Super Bowl if they maintain their defensive dominance and receive support from an improving offense. Cashman, who has witnessed firsthand the significance of the franchise to locals, jokingly proposed running for governor if the team wins the Super Bowl. The prospect of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and participating in a parade in downtown Minneapolis is a dream for Cashman.
Cashman expressed the broader excitement of winning a Super Bowl, stating that it would be a momentous occasion not just for the Vikings fans but for the entire state of Minnesota. The team faces a challenging schedule after this week, with games against the Lions, Bills, Packers, and 49ers. If the Vikings navigate this stretch successfully and prove their ability to defeat playoff-caliber teams, they will be closer to fulfilling Cashman's aspirations.
