I just want to do it to help the team win.”Bredeson was then asked if his “high-end” football that he played at Michigan helps his transition to the NFL.“Yeah, there is some help,” he began. “There’s things I’ve done before and there’s also some things I haven’t done before. I’m grateful for my time in Michigan and what it’s been able to help me do here.”Finally, Bredeson was asked what the “most important thing” he can do for the team is. “I just do whatever I’m asked,” he reiterated. “Whatever that role is, and like I said before, it’s a lot of unique roles and a lot of unique spots. Whatever I’m asked, just do it 1,000% and be the best at it.”Max Bredeson is already turning into a fan-favorite in Minnesota.
