Former football players of Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, are finding themselves in the spotlight amid speculation that Walz is being considered as a potential running mate for the Vice Presidency. The New York Times reports that many of his former players are shocked by the news and questioning if they are being pranked.
Walz, a Democrat, has served as Governor since 2019 and previously represented Minnesota in the U.S. House of Representatives. As he is being floated as a potential Vice Presidential candidate, his former players are reflecting on the impact he had on their lives both on and off the field.
One former player, Senator Jim Abeler, recalled how Walz’s coaching style was tough but fair, pushing them to be their best both on and off the field. Another former player, Mark Dayton, who also served as Governor of Minnesota, praised Walz for his leadership skills and ability to bring people together.
However, not all former players are on board with the idea of Walz running for Vice President. Some have expressed skepticism about his qualifications for the role, questioning if he has the experience and political acumen necessary for the position.
Regardless of their personal opinions, it is clear that Walz’s former players are proud of the impact he has had on their lives and careers. As the speculation continues to swirl around his potential Vice Presidential candidacy, they will be watching closely to see if their former coach ends up on the national stage.
