Vikings hire Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as general manager

The Minnesota Vikings say they've hired Cleveland Browns executive Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as the team's general manager, reportedly with a four-year deal to be the team's top executive. Adofo-Mensa is one of only a handful of Black general managers in the 32-team league, which has drawn criticism for its lack of front-office and coaching diversity.
