And he said it helps to have a coach like Zimmer always watching nearby, even if there’s some criticism at times.
“He’s very detailed,” Meadors said. “But that’s big for us though, because the little misalignments and false steps are the difference between a receiver catching the ball and you making a play. I think he’s very detailed and very beneficial for us.”
Meadors appeared in 42 games at UCLA, recording 30 starts with 149 career tackles and 22 total pass breakups in college.
Here are three other topics that Meadors covered with Vikings.com:
1. You are a Bruin, do you have a bond with the fellow UCLA guys here?
“Yeah, it’s a connection we all have. EK [Eric Kendricks] and AB [Anthony Barr], they look out for me. If I need anything, I just holler at them. When I first got here, I asked them what it was like here and stuff like that. They said as long as I come in and work with the right mindset, anything is possible.”
2. You have four brothers … Dorian, Daylen, Daron and Dash … why no ‘D’ name for you?
“Man, I’m the oldest so I’m a little different,” Meadors said with a laugh. “They all got the ‘Ds,’ but there’s no issues. It’s interesting, but I don’t mind it. I’m much older than them, so I’m cool with it.”
3. You majored in sociology in college and want to mentor youth after football, why is that important to you?
“Just coming from the city of San Bernardino where I’m from [in California], not a lot of kids get to see what I’m able to do. Me going back and providing that example would be super beneficial for a lot of kids.”
