Minnesota has two players who have appeared in a Super Bowl: nose tackle Linval Joseph and offensive tackle Mike Remmers. Joseph, a starter on the 2011 New York Giants, is the only one of the two with a Super Bowl ring, although wide receiver Michael Floyd did get one last season with New England despite being inactive for the game.
Zimmer won a Super Bowl as Cowboys defensive backs coach following the 1995 season but called that “awhile’’ ago. He’s perfectly content with players who have made deep postseason runs sharing their wisdom in the locker room.
“They have an opportunity to talk about the belief that you can get there,’’ Zimmer said. “Like Linval, he’s won a Super Bowl.

Really, you never know.’’
Joseph is more than willing to give pointers about his experience.
“Just don’t take it for granted and just enjoy this opportunity,’’ he said. “That’s what I tell (teammates).’’
