Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sean Mannion trades in his helmet for his coach’s clipboard. According to Brady Henderson of ESPN, Mannion is retiring after 10 years as an NFL QB to join the coaching staff of the Green Bay Packers. The Oregon State graduate is known to work in the QB room. Mannion was drafted by St. Louis Blues in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Drafted by St. Louis Rams. He appeared in just 10 games for the Rams over his first four seasons before being traded to the Vikings. From 2019 to 2021, Mannion made four appearances for Minnesota before he was eventually cut. He is 0-3 in three career starts. The 31-year-old QB last spent time on the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad but never appeared in an NFL game for the team. During his nine-year NFL career, Mannion completed 67 passes, including one touchdown and three interceptions. Despite making few appearances as a player, Mannion was considered “destined” for a future manager due to his intelligence.

Mannion will assist QB coach Jordan Love, who has developed quickly under coach Matt.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
