VIkings Derrick Coleman succeeding against all odds

Posted: Updated:

To make it to the NFL a player needs every advantage he can get. When one player is at a disadvantage, you have to marvel at what that athlete does to succeed.

Meet Derrick Coleman, an undrafted rookie that played college football at UCLA and overcame limitations to win. He's hoping to do the same with the Vikings now.

Coleman is no stranger to big time football, and is all too familiar with doing more to succeed. Coleman has hearing aids in both ears but he's never let his hearing loss limit his passion.

"I've got a lot of people rooting for me," said Coleman. "That's really what drives me every day."
