Adam Zimmer’s Untimely Death Sparks Conspiracy Theories Regarding Covid Vaccines

According to the latest update by the police, no signs of foul play were found from the scene which hints that most probably, the cause of death was natural.

However, NFL Twitter was filled with speculations regarding what exactly would have been the cause of Adam’s untimely demise. Looking at how many young people are getting heart attacks these days, innumerable anti-vaxxers opined that Covid vaccines might have had something to do with Adam’s death.

While several people did agree with this rather drastic assumption, innumerable NFL fans asked the anti-vaxxers to not spread falsehood and unnecessary panic.

Son of former Dallas Cowboys defensive coach, Adam was born in Ogden, Utah on January 13th, 1984. Following his father’s footsteps, Adam had also decided that he will become a football coach.

After years of hard work, Adam finally got his first coaching opportunity at the highest level in 2006. He was hired by the New Orleans Saints as an assistant linebackers coach.

After that, in 2010, the Kansas City Chiefs roped him in for the same position. In 2013, he became the assistant defensive backs coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.

In 2014, he again got the linebackers coaching job, this time for the Minnesota Vikings. After spending half a decade on that position, he was made the linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator by the Minnesota-based franchise.

Most recently, Adam had also served as the offensive analyst for the Cincinnati Bengals. The supremely talented man would be dearly missed.
