Trash talking has always been part of the NFL and it makes the league entertaining. So the NFL writers of ESPN put together their list of the best trash-talkers of the NFL and Captain Munnerlyn was selected as the best for the Minnesota Vikings. Here’s what Ben Goessling had to say about Munnerlyn.

The pugnacious Captain Munnerlyn takes this honor for the Vikings. The 5-foot-9 cornerback is the first to admit he has dealt with short man's syndrome his whole life, and whether he's defending his South Carolina Gamecocks in the Vikings' locker room or jawing with an opponent on Sundays, Munnerlyn's mouth is usually moving. He has said he's at his best when he can get up close and challenge a receiver, and when he does it, Munnerlyn usually isn't shy about saying something to the man across from him.

Munnerlyn has had to fight for everything he has earned in the NFL. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers and his confidence and attitude has kept him in the league since. Munnerlyn has proven he can talk the talk and walk and walk.
