EAGAN, Minn. — For Eric Wilson, Minnesota still feels like home.

The 31-year-old linebacker reunited with the Vikings this offseason after stops in Philadelphia, Houston, New Orleans and Green Bay. But when he returned to TCO Stadium to join the team where his professional career began, it still had that same feel.

"This place feels like home," said Wilson, who originally joined the team in 2017 as an undrafted rookie. "I'm glad to be back."

Wilson spent four seasons in Minnesota, primarily playing on special teams and gradually working his way onto the field with the defensive unit. In 2020, he started 15 games on defense and not only led the team in total tackles (122) but picked off three passes and recovered two fumbles, which was tied for the most on the team in both categories.
